Expert's Highlights: Post-War & Contemporary Art

One of the greats of the last century who devoted his entire artistic career to research, reaching maturity. Then, precisely in 1996, he seems to have rediscovered his deepest and most authentic roots through the rediscovery of the human face, in its existential and dramatic dimension. 
They are born in ’96 his "apotres" (apostles) and the Philosophes (philosophers). 
The work I present is one of the most recognized by critics for its intensity. 
It is an oil on paper of incredible force, bordering on the grotesque. 
Extraordinary!

Uno dei GRANDI dello scorso secolo che ha dedicato tutta la sua carriera artistica alla ricerca, fino alla maturità. Poi, proprio nel 1996, sembra aver ritrovato le sue radici più profonde ed autentiche attraverso la riscoperta del volto umano, nella sua dimensione esistenziale e drammatica. 
Nascono proprio nel '96 i suoi "apotres" (apostoli) ed i Philosophes (filosofi).
L'Opera che presento è una delle più riconosciute dalla critica per la sua intensità.
E' un OLIO su Carta di una forza incredibile, al limite del grottesco.
Straordinaria!
