AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title: "Il Gladiolo" (listed as "Studio al fiore gigante")
Artist: Midea (painter active in Turin, with an Art Studio at Corso Rosselli 103)
Technique: Oil on paper
Dimensions: 18 x 30 cm
Artistic period: "Chiarismo" (as reported in the guarantee certificate)
Framing: Framing shop "L'Incontro" (Turin, dated 23/03/1988)
The work depicts a vertical floral composition of gladioli in pink, red, and yellowish tones, with elongated leaves in olive green hues.
Chiarist Period: Compared to the works of the author's "Surrealist" or Symbolist period (visible in the brochure with darker or metaphysical floral subjects), this composition stands out for a brighter palette and a light, neutral background.
Composition: The line is fluid and decorative, with a stylized and evident signature in red at the bottom left (MIDEA).
The certificate on the back recalls the publication in Bolaffi Arte no. 56 of 1976.
Type of support: This is an oil on paper of small dimensions 18 x 30 cm.
Artist market: Midea is a creator with a market mainly local (Piedmont/Turin area) and private collection limited to a local circle.
Complete documentation: The presence of the original guarantee certificate and autograph with details on the artistic period undoubtedly attest to its authenticity.
Condition: The work and its matting are in excellent overall condition.
Local context: It holds sentimental and historical value linked to the panorama of Turin galleries in the 1970s–1980s.
