AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

**ENNIO FINZI (1931–2024)**
**Untitled**

**Original coloured pastel composition on cardboard, signed on the front.**

An abstract composition distinguished by a deep black background, against which expressive marks and areas of colour emerge in shades of blue, violet, green and white.

The contrast between the dark ground and the luminous colours creates a distinctive sense of movement and visual tension. Lines, geometric shapes and gestural interventions overlap, establishing a dynamic balance between structure and spontaneity.

**The artist**

Ennio Finzi (Venice, 1931–2024) was a significant figure in Italian post-war abstract art.

Emerging from the artistic environment of post-war Venice, Finzi developed an independent visual language centred on the relationship between colour, light, rhythm and perception.

His artistic investigations evolved within the experimental atmosphere of the Venetian avant-garde, including the context of Spatialism, while establishing a highly personal approach to the expressive and perceptual possibilities of colour.

The present composition displays visual characteristics consistent with these artistic concerns, using chromatic contrasts and energetic marks to activate the dark pictorial surface.
