AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Virgilio Guidi, 1891-1984
39x49 cm without a frame
72x62 cm with frame
Suggestive work from the成熟 period of Virgilio Guidi, one of the great masters of Italian the Twentieth Century. The painting depicts a stylized face, with essential and intense features, set against a background of vibrant reddish-orange. The decisive brushstrokes and the strong stylization of the face, with yellow strokes accentuating the cheekbones and the eyes, give the work powerful expressiveness and an almost iconic character. 
On the back, the piece bears the artist’s autograph inscription: “La Testa rossa,” signature and authentication date of June 20, 1972. Authentication certified directly by the artist.
A work of great visual impact, perfect for collectors who appreciate the expressive figurative research of postwar Italian art.
