Lorenzo Viani
Drunk - Woodcut by Lorenzo Viani - 1930

1930

About the Item

Drunk is an original woodcut print on paper, realized by the Italian Artist Lorenzo Viani in 1930 ca. Monogram of the artist on the lower right" LV". The State of preservation is excellent. Included a Passepartout: 40 x 30 cm. The artwork represents a portrait of a Drunk man through strong and thick strokes, with a strong primitivism visible in the synthetic lines, resembling the Expressionistic style. Lorenzo Viani (Viareggio, 1st November 1882 - Lido di Ostia, 2nd November 1936) was an Italian painter, engraver, writer and poet. Viani transfers the life and human life of the weakest into the canvas, with strong chromatic impressions and with a decisive and fast brushstroke, an intense, expressive, and at times extremely melancholy painting. What makes Viani a great teacher, too often forgotten, is the mastery in making drama and lyricism and poetic grace coexist in his works, in feeling the humble emotion in front of the dispossessed. Viani's narrative work is a typical example of dialectal expressionism. Its origins are in a disturbing vision of things, disturbed from the depths, which translates into an exasperated deformation of landscapes like human faces. The writer makes use of extraordinary verbal richness, drawn from the dialectal background of Viareggio, from the seafaring or soldierly or cunning jargon, where it is possible to obtain expressionistic exasperations.
