AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original work by Mimmo Rotella, undisputed master of décollage and central figure of European art in the second half of the twentieth century.

The works belong to the famous cycle dedicated to cinema, in which Rotella revises original movie posters through the technique of tearing (strappo) and recomposition, transforming the popular image into a powerful contemporary visual language. The torn, overlapped and reassembled fragments generate a dynamic tension between image and memory, between cultural icon and artistic gesture.

This work is based on the famous film “La magnifica preda” (River of No Return), with Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum, an absolute icon of Hollywood cinema.

The composition presents a strong visual stratification, with tears and overlays that generate a dynamic and fragmented image, typical of Rotella’s artistic language.

The works are hand-signed and bear the dry stamp of the Fondazione Mimmo Rotella, an element that guarantees authenticity and strengthens their collecting value.
