Description from the seller
Artist: Mario Giacomelli
Title of the series included in “presa di coscienza sulla natura”, “A Silvia” in the 1984 version, and in the series “Lascio le mie ali a metà strada” 1980/83 as well as, of course, the mother series “Gabbiani”.
Technical: Vintage gelatin silver print

Dimensions with mat: 40 x 50 cm

Series date: 1980-83
Paper: Agfa
PUBLISHED.
Photograph stamped on the back with the artist’s stamp, Mario Giacomelli
On the back of the photograph there is also the Mario Giacomelli Heirs’ stamp as a guarantee of authenticity.
CONDITION: EXCELLENT
(the images you see refer to the work for sale).
“In this series, the Marche-based master moves away from realistic documentation to reach a form of lyrical abstraction, where the boundary between sky and earth becomes almost indistinguishable. For Giacomelli, the series of the “Gabbiani” (Seagulls) represented a moment of inner reflection. The flight of the birds becomes a metaphor of Freedom and Solitude; the chaotic yet harmonious movement of the flock reflects the author’s restlessness and poetic quest; one sees the Transfiguration of the Landscape: As in his photos of plowed fields, here too Giacomelli “re-reads” nature, transforming a common event into a symbolic and timeless image.

This Artwork will be insured for the full purchase value.
