Description from the seller
Artist: Mario Giacomelli
Title of the series included in “presa di coscienza sulla natura” (awareness of nature), “A Silvia” in the 1984 version, and in the series “Lascio le mie ali a metà strada” 1980/83, as well as the mother series “Gabbiani” (Gulls).

Photograph stamped on the back with the artist Mario Giacomelli’s stamp

CONDITION: EXCELLENT
(the images you see refer to the work for sale).
“In this series, the master from Marche 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” (Gulls) represented a moment of inner reflection. The flight of the birds becomes a metaphor for Freedom and Solitude; the chaotic yet harmonious movement of the flock reflects the unrest and poetic search of the author; one sees the Transfiguration of the Landscape: As in his arable-field photographs, here too Giacomelli “re-reads” nature, transforming a common event into a symbolic, timeless image.”
