About the Item

The Carousel is an original Modern Artwork realized in 1949 by the Italian artist Renzo Vespignani (Rome, 1924 - Rome, 2001). Original black ink and pen on ivory paper. Hand-signed and dated by the artist on the right corner in pencil: Vespignani 1949. Excellent conditions. Very intense and beautiful neorealistic Italian subject depicting a carousel with children and sevreal figures in the foreground. The detail of the man that is leaning on the floor lamp. The charoscuro is very high but there is also a very high contrast between the figures and the background. The work has been realized by the Italian artist Renzo Vespignani. Renzo Vespignani (Rome, 1924 - 2001) was a painter, printmaker and illustrator. Among the others, he illustrated the works of Boccaccio and Kafka. In 1956, he founded the magazine "Città Aperta" ("City Opened") and, in 1963 he co-founded the neorealism groupt "Il Pro e il Contro". He also contributed to realize illustrations for political and literary journals. He also participated in the Venice Biennale four times. A 1985 exhibition at the French Academy examined the rapport between Vespignani's work and that of Pier Paolo Pasolini.
