Virgilio Guidi
The Round-Eyes in Space 1968

1968

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Signed lower right. On the back present title, date and additional signature to authenticate the work. Painter, poet and essayist, Virgilio Guidi always maintained one solitary, critical stance and never absolute programmatic adherence to the aesthetic dictates of artistic currents and groups of 20th-century groups or currents, although he was always the bearer of significant personal contributions to new pictorial research. Beginning in the 1940s, Guidi began to systematically develop large cycles, with which he repeatedly investigated one and the same subject-composition nucleus, continuing to follow the common thread of all his art: light. His painting favored the choice of delicate tonal arrangements and the representation of figurative and landscape elements through abstract rhythms. This work belongs to the series made in the 1960s of " I Tondi," with the subtitle of "Eye in Space." It is presented in a frame.
