Toccangini Mario
Abstract Expressionism 20th Century Painting Mixed Technique Avant-Garde in Frame

1958

About the Item

Mario Toccangini, "Portrait of a Girl," mixed media, watercolor and charcoal on paper, abstract expressionism. In the Italy of the first half of the twentieth century, there is a place that becomes the cradle of fruitful artists, painters, graphic designers, sculptors, architects and designers, who will make the history of twentieth-century Italian art. We are talking about the city of Pistoia, twenty kilometers from the majestic and intrusive Florence, the city that in the 1960s would become home to Poltronova, which would become an icon of modern design. But before Poltronova Pistoia is the city of Giovanni Michelucci, of Marino Marini, Agenore Fabbri, Sigfrido Bartolini, Mario Nigro, and the large group of twentieth-century Pistoiese avant-gardists and painters, an extraordinary unicum in the contemporary art scene . Also part of this group is the lesser known, but no less capable, Mario Toccangini. Born and raised in this avant-garde milieu, inspired by the vision of a popular world, he dwelled on portraying women, interpreted according to a taste still oriented toward abstract expressionism. This "Portrait of a Girl," executed in mixed media, confirms this for us, just as it confirms her great abilities. The painting has its original frame and was framed, as the label on the back confirms, at the Morandi Gallery in Pistoia, at that time a lively meeting place for Pistoian artists. Also behind is the authentic manuscript from the painter. Measurements frame 93 x 69 cm work 86 x 61 cm
