Max Marra (1950)
Mixed technique on cardboard with a gold background.
Opera of the 80s / 90s
Measurements: 45 x 35.5 cm in frame.
Painting: 40 x 30 cm
Tracing back the creative history of an artist, one can attempt to reach the germinal point of their expressive syntax and then retrace their path in an evolutionary reverse, aware of the intermediate stations, each fundamental for the next. Even Max Marra's work lends itself to this particular interpretative principle. In fact, by moving backwards along the extent of his artistic journey, one uncovers the generative essence of his creative works, identifies the different research phases, each representing an expression of a coherent operational continuum where the urgency of creative action is always appeased in new and diverse ways, an action that always and inevitably refers back to a fundamental ethical motivation.
Drawing, in particular, counterpoints and accompanies the various phases of research and experimentation in Marra's artistic work, almost as a counterpoint, sometimes even dissonant, or a harmony of song. The drawing, its impulsive sign, its expressive strength, its physicality nourished by the corporeality of gesture (a subtle reference to the expressionism of 'Die Brücke' and, in particular, Kirchner and Nolde) permeates his activity; it remains the guiding knowledge thread of his creation. Fueled by his extraordinary imaginative capacity, it becomes an unstoppable eruption of traces, signs, figurations with unexpected plastic qualities, with a nearly material consistency.
