About the Item

Very rare xylograph of the artist, who was considered one of the 20th Century Masters in xylography. Title and signature printed on the lower margin. Very good condition. Passepartout included (cm 55 x 45). The artwork was made in Paris, where he used the name of his mother "Martini de la Valle". Arturo Martini (1889-1947) was an Italian sculptor. 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: 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.
