About the Item
'Still Life with Strings', ink and pencil on paper, from the Italian School of artists (circa 1940s). This gallery acquired this artwork with two similar works for which this one may be a study or sketch for another. Surely there is inspiration from Juan Gris (1887-1927) and Georges Braque's (1882-1963) cubist style, not to mention the clear influence of the work of Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). This is more evident in this work's related paintings mentioned above. Discovered in North Central Italy, although its exact origins are uncertain, this charming work depicts a stringed instrument called a mandola in Italian (related to a lute). There is also a vase, among other things. The artist seems to have chosen to leave the final work 'unfinished'. Many of the words seen in various places in the sketch refer to colours in Italian (and perhaps Spanish or Portuguese but uncertain), as if to provide direction regarding how the various items should be painted. Or, is the artist simply asking the viewer to imagine those colours in the unfinished parts? Like the other works, it is a piece with vitality and flair while at the same time revealing its characterful, vintage history. The art's mysterious origins add to its attractiveness and desirability. It is in good overall condition with a new frame and precious, non-reflective glass. The work shows some minor fading commensurate with age. Upon request, a video will be provided. Unsigned by the artist. Please enquire on this platform if all three artworks are desired as a triptych.
