AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lucio Del Pezzo (1933-2020) - Composition V
(Portfolio Del Pezzo) - Original gravure enhanced with hand-applied color - Signed and numbered 28/100 - 1971
About the work and the artist:
Originating from Naples, Lucio Del Pezzo is one of the founders of Gruppo 58 and a major figure in Italian contemporary art, combining the spirit of Pop Art with the geometric and mysterious imagery of De Chirico's metaphysical painting. This work, Composition V, is from a famous portfolio published in 1971. It features his typical iconographic vocabulary: colorful geometric solids (pyramid, cube, striped sphere) arranged like toys or esoteric symbols on a perspective plane. The watercolor enhancement gives each impression a unique sensitivity.
