About the Item

Couple of Figures in the Nature is an original Modern Artwork realized in 1949 by the Italian artist Renzo Vespignani (Rome, 1924 - Rome, 2001). Original black China ink and pen on ivory paper. Hand-signed and dated by the artist on the lower right corner in pencil: Vespignani 1949. Excellent conditions. Excellent etching on ivory paper depicting a couple of children seated in a garden. The stroke of the work is very intense and there is a very high contrast between the figures and the trees. The couple is surrounded by a greening landscape with palms and trees. Renzo Vespignani (Rome, 1924 - Rome, 2001). He began painting during the Nazi occupation, hidden by the engraver Lino Bianchi Barriviera, his first teacher. Other important references, which influenced his artistic beginnings, were Alberto Ziveri and Luigi Bartolini while, especially in his early paintings, the influence of expressionists like George Grosz and Otto Dix seems evident. In 1945, he exhibited his first solo show and began to collaborate in various political-literary magazines. His relationship with literature was very close. Vespignani illustrates Boccaccio's Decameron, poems and prose by Leopardi, Majakowskij's Complete Works, Eliot's Four Quartets, Kafka's Tales, Belli's Sonnets, Door Poems, Villon's Testament and Alleg's Question. In 1999 he was elected President of the National Academy of San Luca and appointed Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the licence according to the final destination of the artwork.
