About the Item
Letter from Ottone Rosai addressed to Mino Maccari. Dated : 30 December 1940, Firenze. Dimensions: 23x14 cm.
Good conditions, except a little missing parts lower left and in the mid-right.
Ottone Rosai partecipated as a young boy to the activities of the Futurist group, but his personality was fully expressed only after the war (to which he was also involved, fevering futurist ideas). He took his inspiration from Cézanne's work among the Moderns and Giotto and Masaccio among the Ancients. He has produced a repertoire of humble scenes: workers at the tavern, small streets between walls, scenes of everyday life. On the one hand this style has given him a certain mistrust of criticism, but on the other hand he must be recognized the ability to escape any rhetoric when it was not easy to do so.
In fact, in the letter addressed to Mino Maccari, an old friend and colleague who he knew in 1925 with whom he had collaborated, he writes, “Bisogna solo guardarsi da figuri di nostra conoscenza che stanno ora tentando di rigirare di nuovo le carte”.("We just have be careful about some people we know and who are now trying to turn the cards back." A mistrust born two years earlier when in 1938, the painter was even "warned" by the fascist police for his frequent " use of prostitute" and avoided being deported to the confines. A letter almost prophetically, that anticipates what would happen to him in 1943, when Rosai is subjected to a brutal aggression, this time by anti-fascists who see in him a supporter of the regime but ignore the humiliations he suffered by those.

As a black and white comic, the absence of color allows the artist to focus on using shading, line work, and contrast to convey the narrative and emotions effectively.
