Angelo Canevari
Ezra Pound - Surrealist Drawing Made With Transparent Melted Polyethylene

2001

About the Item

Angelo Canevari’s Ezra Pound is a 25 x 20 inch surrealist drawing made with melted polyethylene. This ironic head portrait of Ezra Pound is an explicit satire of the poet, as Canevari, who was born right after World War I, was strongly anti Fascist. The melted white polyethylene used to draw the figure on the black canvas gives it a crystal sculptural quality of surrealistic appearance. This artwork is part of a limited number of pieces that the artist created at the end of his life. It has been featured in a book written by renowned writer Andrea Camilleri. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor who comes from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned several works by the Vatican including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins. This artwork is part of a limited number of pieces that the artist created at the end of his life. It has been featured in a book written by renowned writer Andrea Camilleri. Angelo Canevari's work is often inspired by classical themes and myths. The mythology is often re-visited through his personal memories giving shape to figures that are a combination of historical mythical characters and the imagery of his innermost self. This ironic head portrait of Ezra Pound is the perfect syncretism of this creative process.

  • Head of a Woman - Surrealist Drawing of a Lady Made With Melted Polyethylene
    By Angelo Canevari
    Located in New York, NY
    Angelo Canevari’s Head of a Woman is a 25 x 20 inch surrealist drawing made with melted polyethylene. Canevari's work is often inspired by classical themes and myths. The mythology is often re-visited through his personal memories giving shape to figures that are a combination of historical mythical characters and the imagery of his innermost self. This Head of a Woman is the perfect syncretism of this creative process: maybe the head of an ancient Mother Goddess or just a minimalistic representation of a character from Canevari's memories. The melted polyethylene used to draw the figure gives it a crystal sculptural quality of surrealistic appearance.
