AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original print, specifically an etching (aquatint or drypoint) made on handmade paper with untoned sheets.
Ilario Rossi (1911–1994) was one of the most significant Italian painters and printmakers of the twentieth century, a central figure of the Bologna School after World War II.
The print depicts an interior scene with human figures, suggested and deconstructed according to a cubist and informal matrix. Two or three anthropomorphic silhouettes (nudes or figures seated in a studio) stand out, integrated in a tight, geometric space.
He graduated in 1933 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. There he was a direct pupil of Giorgio Morandi (then head of the etching chair), forging friendships with other future masters such as Luciano Minguzzi and Paolo Manaresi.
Directly etched on the printing plate (at the bottom left of the composition) the initials "I.R." can be read, accompanied by the year of creation, 1965.
