AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Acrylic on board

Master Aldo Gentilini.

In good condition.

Signed on the front lower left, while on the back is the authentic piece made directly by the artist.

Dimensions of the work: 45x55 cm.

Special as with all of his works and unusual since it is painted on board and of compact dimensions, this piece by Master Aldo Gentilini is part of a private collection.
It is certainly an interesting work for someone who has a small space to furnish and enliven with taste, in the Abstract style, and it comes complete with its original frame which is in good condition and with the glass.

The images shown are an integral part of the description.

It will be carefully packed and shipped with express courier and tracking.

Aldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1911; from a young age he felt a strong religious vocation that led him to enter the Pietrasanta cloistered monastery, where he stayed for three years, pursuing philosophical studies, before dedicating himself as a self-t taught artist to artistic research, which would lead him to exhibit in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.
A man of faith, he believes that only through art can the divine be reached. And this belief will underlie all his work:
"I try to make the void – Gentilini declared – This void provokes in me a certain catharsis: I observe sensitive values that I respect, I reassess them, but I never know how I will fall into the painting, and this is the realization of a truth toward the sign never thought of."
He was an artist practicing asceticism, to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. The two natures, the human and the aesthetic, coincide perfectly.
