Gian Paolo Berto
The Eyes - Original Print by Gian Paolo Berto - 1970s

1970s

About the Item

The Eyes is an original etching and drypoint print on paper realized by Gian Paolo Berto in 1970s. Good conditions, except for some foxing at the top whitish frame. Hand-signed on the lower right in pencil. The artwork represents the childish eyes full of emotion in a whitish round circle, beside covered whole by intense black in the eyes surrounding, minimalistic and poetic expression by applying the dark space contrasted with whitish around the eyes, artistic emphasis on deeply concerned looks. Gian Paolo Berto born and raised in the limited but fervent artistic environment of Adria after the war where, apart from the isolated and not yet rediscovered genius of the Anglo-Saxon Foster, a new cultural climate was forming alongside the figures of Scarpari, Reali, Rizzi, Palmieri , Gioli. Then in Rovigo, he is studying with Prudenziato and Breseghello and in friendship with Gabbris Ferrari. The meeting with the masters Zancanaro and Levi is dazzling and constitutes the springboard of this eclectic artist in the world of contemporary Italian painting. Despite having been among the very few admitted to De Chirico's studio (but also by Guttuso and Picasso), and has exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums, Berto has always exempted himself from appearing in the windows of the great art market, preferring contact, in an anti-elitist key, with the most genuine audiences: students, simple people, artists and intellectuals who conduct their research with rigor and autonomy from fashions and trends. This does not mean that his painting is detached from the context of contemporary art. Indeed, the painter's characteristic appropriation of the reality that surrounds him and the evolving forms of painting in Berto is explicit and, as often happens in art, prophecy. The debt contracted by American Pop towards the European one is known: a front that at the time found an attentive and operative Berto and then, in the following decades, ready to grasp the flourishing of the successive frontiers of art.(Artist's website).
