About the Item

Untitled is an original Contemporary artwork realized by the Italian Contemporary artist Fausto Melotti (Rovereto, 1901 – Milan, 1986) in 1977. Original Watercolor on paper. Good conditions. The certificate of authenticity on photo has been released by the Fausto Melotti Archive. Exhibitions: “Fausto Melotti. Lo spazio inquieto”, marzo-maggio 2009, Rovereto Galleria Transarte Reference: “Fausto Melotti. Lo spazio inquieto”, marzo-maggio 2009, Rovereto Galleria Transarte, cat. p. 110. Refined mixed media and watercolor artwork on paper depicting an abstract composition realized by one of the most interesting artist of the XX Century in Italy in the end of the 1970s. His style and his poetics has changed over the years, always following his very personal research, aimed at articulating the space according to rhythms with a musical flavor. His work, and the sculptures in particular will have more and more a mental character and at the same time will undergo a synthesis, in the ways and in the materials: ceramics or plaster, but above all his very light steel sculptures, will be imbued with a surreal and ironic vein; up to the extreme consequences in the works following official recognition, which will only come in 1967, thanks to an exhibition in Milan. Fausto Melotti was born in Rovereto (Trento) in 1901. In 1918 he enrolled in the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at the University of Pisa. During this period he studied the piano and took up studies of sculpture in Turin under the sculptor Pietro Canonica. In 1928 he enrolled at the Accademia di Brera in Milan. His first exhibition brought him no critical or public success in Italy but received attention in France thanks to Léonce Rosenberg. Between 1941 and 1943 he lived in Rome where he participated in the Figini and Pollini project for the Palazzo delle Forze Armate and, in the meantime, produced drawings, paintings and poems that were together published in 1944. In 1979 a solo anthological exhibition was held at the Palazzo Reale in Milan and two years later, in Florence, an exhibition was staged at the Forte Belvedere.
