Attesa (The Wait) - Etching by E. Greco - 1969

1969

About the Item

Attesa (The Wait) is an etching realized by Emilio Greco in 1969. Hand signed and dated in pencil on the lower right margin, "Attesa" is written in pencil on the lower central margin. Edition 12/90, on ocher China sheet. Very good conditions. The artwork represents a lying female figure in profile. Very interesting is the contrast between the face of the woman and her naked body. The woman's shapes are round and very soft. Greco produced many female portraits with the use of simple and minimal contour lines. Ref: Maurizio Calvesi, "Emilio Greco Incisioni e Litografie", Cigno Edizioni, Roma, 1995, n. 42, p. 179. Emilio Greco (Catania, 1913 - Roma, 1995) was a popular Italian artist, engraver and designer. He was famous especially for the graphic works; he started with an apprentice in a Sicilian stonemason's shop and then he moved to Rome where he lived with other artists in Villa Massimo and where he exhibited his artworks for the first time. In 1948, he became a teacher at the famous artistic high school of Via Ripetta, in Rome; Greco became famous for his monument "Pinocchio and la Fatina" in Collodi's village and for his portraits of women. Picasso said about him "Greco is the greatest designer in Europe". He was a regular traveler and he is still today considered one of the greatest sculptors of the 20th century.
