About the Item

Il Sovrano (The King) is an original mixed media drawing on paper, realized around the 1960s by the great Italian artist and journalist, Mino Maccari (Siena, 1898 - 1989). Tempera and Charcoal drawing on ivory-colored and laid paper. Signed "Maccari" in pencil on the lower margin at the center. Very good condition. With the incredible satiric and caustic touch of the illustrator of Il Selvaggio, this contemporray artwork depicts a king with the symbols of power: scepter and crown. A satiric drawing concerning the heaviness and redundancy of institutional offices: a king is covered in the traditional leopard-print cloak, has a heavy crown on his head and holds a scepter in his right hand. This original Maccari’s drawing, stands out for the beauty of the fluidity of the sign and for the burnt Sienna colors. with a sense of chromatism, surely could enrich your private collectiuon with a Italian satiric touch and elegance! Mino Maccari (Siena, 1898 – Rome, 1989) Mino Maccari was a popular Italian painter and engraver with a caustic personality, called in 1924 by Angiolo Bencini to collaborate as illustrator for the magazine Il Selvaggio, an admittedly intransigent fascist, revolutionary and anti-bourgeois magazine. Here Maccari published his first engravings. and after he took over the direction of the Savage which he held until 1942. In 1959, he became the director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome; in 1963, he won Antonio Feltrinelli's prize for painting and became president of the San Luca Academy in 1962. In the same year of one of the biggest Italian accademic honour, Maccari managed to obtain a personal exhibition at Gallery 63 in New York. His production of drawings, watercolors, tempera, lithographs etc. is exhausted, sometimes in collaboration with prestigious publishing houses (Strapaese, Il selvaggio), of satirical, political or erotic subject matters.
