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 devoted to cinema, in which Rotella reworks original cinema 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 dedicated to Marilyn Monroe, one of the most famous and recurring icons in the artist's oeuvre. The image emerges through tears and overlaps of advertising posters, creating an intense and dynamic composition that perfectly reflects Rotella's visual language.
Marilyn's face, central and luminous, is made even more powerful by the contrast with the surrounding tears and graphic fragments.
The works are hand-signed and bear the dry stamp of the Mimmo Rotella Foundation, a mark that guarantees their authenticity and strengthens their collectible value.
