About the Item
Thinking about the Origin of the World is an original pencil drawing on paper, realized around the Sixties by the great Italian artist and journalist, Mino Maccari (Siena, 1898 - 1989).
With the incredible satiric and caustic touch of the illustrator of Il Selvaggio, this contemporray artwork depicts a fascist soldier that seems to be Mussolini, portrait while he is thinking or looking at the female suxual organs. A clear quotation of the "Origin du Monde" by Gustave Courbet. An eagle flies over the scene and composition, and recalls and symbolizes fascism.
Excellent condition, with irregular margins.
A funny satiric original drawing by Mino Maccari, of little dimensions but very high quality, surely could be your at affordable prices and could enrich your private collectiuon with a Italian satiric touch and elegance!
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 academic honor, 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.
