Attributed M Dudovich Allegorical Nude Figurative Coloured Drawing 1930s

1930 circa

About the Item

This drawing represents the study for an allegorical figure, probably Italy considering the color of the flag. It can be attributed, for strong resemblances, to Marcello Dudovich, an italian painter, illustrator and poster designer. Marcello Dudovich was born in 1878 to Serbian parents whose ancestors settled in Trieste, then part of the Habsburg Empire, from the town of Kotor in Montenegro. He attended the prestigious Royal School in Trieste. Upon completing his studies, he began working with his father as a lithographer and illustrator for advertising art, prints and posters. He relocated from Trieste to Milan in 1897 after attending a professional art school. He was recruited as a lithographer by Ricordi, a music publisher, thanks to his father's friendship with the illustrator and cartoonist Leopoldo Metlicovitz, and was given charge over advertisement design. In 1899 he transferred to Bologna, working here for the publisher Edmondo Chappuis, designing billboards, book covers and illustrations for publications such as Italia Ride in 1900 e Fantasio in 1902. Here he met Elisa Bucchi, his future wife. In 1900 he won the "Gold Medal" at the Paris World Fair. In 1905 Dudovich returned to Milan to rejoin Ricordi. Here, in the next few years, he designed some of his well-known posters, including "Mele di Napoli" (Apples from Naples) and "Borsalino". In the 1920s he made several posters for the Milan department store, La Rinascente, and in 1922 he was appointed artistic director of "Igap". In 1930 he designed a prominent poster for Pirelli. After the Second World War he moved away from the world of commercial art, concentrating instead on his painting.
