AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This silkscreen by Amleto Dalla Costa shows three highly stylized female portraits placed close together and almost merging into one graphical form. The faces have been reduced to a few essential lines, while the large black areas of hair and clothing dominate the composition. The sharp outlines, even color fields and extensive simplification are particularly suited for the screen printing technique and give the work the elegant, decorative appearance that is characteristic of Dalla Costa’s portrayals of women.
Amleto Dalla Costa (Milan, 1929–2024) was a versatile Italian artist, illustrator, designer and photographer. He began at a young age as a draftsman at the animation studio ARS Film of Nino and Toni Pagot and later worked in graphic design, advertising and fashion photography. From the 1970s he increasingly concentrated on his autonomous art and became especially well known for paintings and silkscreens of elegant, highly stylized female figures. His visual language is characterized by flowing contours, large flat color areas and a thorough simplification of form and detail, while his background as a graphic designer remains clearly recognizable. Women and the feminine portrait form an important recurring theme in his oeuvre. Dalla Costa exhibited internationally throughout his long career and worked with a range of techniques, from painting and silkscreen to sculpture and photography.
