Mario Tozzi
Ballpoint pen drawing by Mario Tozzi Figure at Rest 1969

1969

About the Item

Ballpoint pen on paper. Signed lower right. Accompanied by authentication on photo from the Mario Tozzi Archive. In master Tozzi's extensive production one finds many drawings, such as this one presented here, executed with different techniques (ink, pastel, pencil, sanguine), dedicated to the human figure: in his dry and stylized style, Mario Tozzi sketches stylized figurines, refined in their quiet, unobtrusive geometry, aided by the absence of color, which makes the shapes stand out against the white paper Also in pictorial production mario Tozzi's favorite subjects are, classically, figures and still lifes, but both figures and still lifes are a set of solid geometric elements, the sphere, cylinder, cone, etc. The bodies are elemental, essential in line and detail, mighty, statuesque, composed of barely molded solids, while the still lifes are a celebration of Euclidean geometry such as the pitchers, bowls, and flasks that are paradigms of volumetry and geometric rigor. Mario Tozzi's compositions are influenced by Cubism for certain cuts, Metaphysics for certain architectural insertions, and Abstractionism for the inclusion of geometric figures. The 'work is presented in a frame.
