Background:.
This autograph is written in a period of a real break with the past. In 1950 in Bolzano, Nino Franchina realizes a new series of sculptures inspired by the dynamism and aesthetics of cars began in a car body shop. The stylistic influence is still attributable to Brâncuși but also to Naum Gabo, and to his brother Anton Pevsner. These works, which take the name of Fuoriserie, Come unereo, Metallurgica, Calandra, Ritmo di Surface, will be presented two years later as part of the Milanese solo show at the Naviglio Gallery and at the XXVI Venice Biennale.
The artist who said «The material I love the most is iron. Iron bends very docile; when it is incandescent it has an immense charm, it writhes, flickers, offers itself, dances " is still today known for his bronzes.
