Bruno Conte
Objects - Pastel Drawing by Bruno Conte - 1981

1981

About the Item

Objects is an original contemporary artwork realized in 1981 by the Italian artist Bruno Conte (Rome, 1939). Original pastel drawing on black cardboard. Passepartout included (cm 32.5 x 0.1 x 39.5) Excellent conditions. The passepatout presents some foxings. Objects is an original artwork realized in the middle of the XX Century by Bruno Conte and depicts several studies for objects in the center of a black composition: keys, a small box and other different small objects. The work has been realized by a light and soft stroke of white plaster on a black cardboard. Conte began his activity in the figurative field with surreal abstract graphic works. He exhibited at the VII and VIII Quadriennale in Rome, 1955 and 1960. In 1956 at the XXVIII Venice Biennale. It is related to the Galleria dell’Obelisco in Rome which presents it in exhibitions in the United States. Between 1959 and 1961 he elaborates images with poetic texts and develops his parallel literary activity. In the early 1960s, the paintings acquired a material consistency. Subsequently, an object choice prevails that is distinguished over time in formal concepts designed to define emerging images - events. An autonomous, almost autonomous, vegetative writing is suggested in his wooden books, a writing that tends to fade away in the almost pages of the most recent, essential metaphysical, "paginar" walls.
