About the Item

Giorgio Rossi (1892-1963) Statuette and Red Vase, 1957 Oil on cardboard, signed and dated on the right Dimensions without frame: 45 × 35 cm Dimensions with frame: 62 × 53 cm Primarily known as a sculptor, Giorgio Rossi rarely produced paintings. In this work, he depicts a female figure reminiscent of a statuette, placed beside a large red vase. The composition deliberately plays on ambiguity: it is unclear whether we are looking at a real woman next to an oversized vessel, or at a small ceramic object transformed into a monumental presence. The work has always remained in the artist's family home after his death. The painting introduces naïve elements and a tone verging on the metaphysical, far from the realistic virtuosity of his drawings. This deliberate and paradoxical choice gives strength to the whole, making it a rare and original testimony within Rossi's pictorial output. Brief biography of the artist Giorgio Rossi, sculptor and painter, was active in Tuscany, between Florence and Volterra. He developed a personal language that combined 20th-century realism with archaic and Renaissance references, while remaining open to modern influences. He took part in important exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale in 1930 and 1936, and taught for more than thirty years at the Artistic and Industrial School of Volterra, specializing in terracotta and alabaster.

The waitress. Three quarter portrait. Contemporary Cubist style. Oil paint
Located in Segovia, ES
The waitress. Oil on canvas, three quarter portrait of a beautiful waitress. Cubist style Measurements in centimeters: 122 x 48 x 2 cm / Framed: 152 x 78 x 4 cm. In Inches: 48.03 x 18.9 x 0.79 " Framed: 59.84 x 30.71 x 1.57 " Original three-quarter close-up of the surprised model at work, with the carefree and seductive air of young and happy waitresses at work. The painting is harmonious in its rich shades of blue, white, grey and violet, combined with muted, earthy tones and tints of ocher flesh. The flattened perspectives, the fractured surfaces and the graphic stylizations refer to the cubism of Picasso and Juan Gris. There are echoes of Modigliani in the treatment of his female models and we can detect an homage to Gauguin and Matisse, in his playful and sensual manipulation of color.
