About the Item
Otium is an original china ink drawing on paper, realized in the 1960s by the great Italian artist and journalist, Mino Maccari (Siena, 1898 - 1989).
China ink drawing on ivory-colored and Uper-tenace watermarked paper.
Signed "Maccari" in black ballpoint pen on the lower-right margin .
With the incredible satiric and caustic touch of the illustrator of Il Selvaggio, this contemporray artwork depicts a composition with three male figures. From the left to the right: a sitting man with one hand in his pocket and the other hand touching his chest or moving his tie, the same man is drawn larger, standing while he s sreading a newspaper. An observer watches this otium scene while he puts a finger in his nose.
Very good condition, with a light brown watercolour on the left.
Mino Maccari (Siena, 1898 – Rome, 1989)
Mino Maccari was a popular Italian painter and engraver with a caustic personality, called in 1924 by Angiolo Bencini to collaborate as illustrator for the magazine Il Selvaggio, an admittedly intransigent fascist, revolutionary and anti-bourgeois magazine. Here Maccari published his first engravings. and after he took over the direction of the Savage which he held until 1942.
In 1959, he became the director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome; in 1963, he won Antonio Feltrinelli's prize for painting and became president of the San Luca Academy in 1962. In the same year of one of the biggest Italian accademic honour, Maccari managed to obtain a personal exhibition at Gallery 63 in New York.
His production of drawings, watercolors, tempera, lithographs etc. is exhausted, sometimes in collaboration with prestigious publishing houses (Strapaese, Il selvaggio), of satirical, political or erotic subject matters.
