About the Item
Persian Ballet is a woodcut on ivory-colored, realized at the beginning of the XX century by the Italian artist Arturo Martini (Treviso, 1889 - Milan, 1947).
On the lower margin, the printed inscriptions with the title and the author: "Persian Ballet/ Martini de la Valle".
The State of preservation is good and aged.
The artwork represents a theatric scene from a Persian Ballet through strong and thick strokes, with a strong primitivism visible in the synthetic line, resembling the Expressionistic style.
Arturo Martini (Treviso, 1889 - Milan, 1947) attended the School of Adolf von Hildebrand in Munich in 1909, and in 1912 he moved to Paris where he deepened his knowledge of Cubism and the avant-gardes and where he exhibited at the Salon d'Automne. He took part in the International Free Futurist Exhibition held in Rome in April-May 1914 with the Portrait of Homer Soppelsa, considered a tribute to Futurism. In the same years, he collaborated with the futurist magazine L'Eroica, dedicated to the themes of art, literature and xylography. Then, he approached abstract graphics and created his first sketches in his book Contemplations. The book presents, instead of text, a sequence of geometric signs. Between 1918 and 1922, he collaborated with Mario Broglio to the magazine Valori Plastici, adhering to the homonym artistic movement. Thanks to this experience, he rediscovered ancient sculpture, thus overcoming nineteenth-century naturalism to which he was still attached. Among the important works of this period are La Maternità (1925) and Il Bevitore (1926). In 1925, he was invited to exhibit in a room at the III Roman Biennial; in the following years, he participated for the first time in the Venice Biennial, after former rejections. In the same year, he exhibited at the first exhibition of the Novecento art movement.

Arturo Martini
Arturo Martini was an Italian sculptor and engraver. He studied ceramics in Faenza and sculpture in Treviso. His copious artistic production is characterized by immediate plasticity, halcyon inventiveness and thorough mastery of all technical processes like stone, bronze, terracotta, ceramics, etc. Whilst the artist preferred a primitive style in his earliest works, he then sought a simplification of volumes. With an admirable sense of style, he managed to be inspired by the most diverse Historic, Archaic, Etruscan, Romanesque and Baroque forms without losing originality of inventiveness, nor vitality of form. In his latest works, he abandoned sculpture in order to dedicate himself to painting. He was also an excellent illustrator and ceramist and created works of narrative spirit and decorative value.
