AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful work by Mario Sironi (Sassari, May 12, 1885 – Milan, August 13, 1961), signed and listed in the painter’s general archive under number 46/18 RA (see photograph), painted in tempera, pencil, and grease pencil on paper, in perfect condition.
The work measures 17.5 × 15 cm.
The frame is original to the period and has its protective glass.
Mario Sironi was an Italian painter, sculptor, architect, illustrator, set designer, and graphic artist. During his lifetime, he took part in numerous artistic movements, founded the Novecento Italiano movement, and was one of the leading promoters of the Fascist regime in the art world.
His alignment with the Fascist regime—which Sironi saw as the only force capable of restoring Italian art and the country itself to their former glory—led to a loss of credibility for the artist and a devaluation of his works in the postwar period, as also happened to Futurist artists.
Only today is Sironi’s legacy and the quality of his work being rediscovered, thanks to numerous exhibitions and retrospectives dedicated to him, including the one at the Museo del Novecento in Milan, which ended in March 2022. Let us explore his story and his most important works.
From a private collection in Milan, Italy.
