Giovanni Omiccioli (1901-1975) - Pesce nelle spiagge

Lot: Pastel on thick paper by Giovanni Omiccioli (1971)

Description / General:
Original work by the famous Italian painter Giovanni Omiccioli (1901–1975), a prominent figure of the Roman School. The piece measures 50 cm by 35 cm and is executed on thick light-toned paper. Some crease as seen in the photographs.

Technique and forms:
It is a pastel that stands out for its lyrical, minimalist style with roots in expressionism. The composition presents a vertically oriented fish, resolved with suggestive strokes in a color palette of blues, chalk whites, and subtle touches of ochre that capture the light of the Mediterranean.
On the left margin includes the handwritten inscription of the title "pesce sulla spiaggia" together with the artist's signature and date ("71").

Back and gallery stamps: The reverse constitutes the most important documentary element of the lot. It features the autograph handwriting authentication by the artist that reads: "Questo pastello è stato da me eseguito. G. Omiccioli". It also presents two historical sale stamps: the square seal of the "Centro d'Arte Il Gabbiano" and the circular postmark of the "Centro d'Arte Internazionale - Milano", which certifies its provenance in the Italian art circuits of the early 1970s.

Shipping: The lot is conveniently protected using a rigid special packaging to ensure the full integrity of the paper support and the pastel pigments during transport.
