About the Item

Manipulation is an original drawing on paper, realized around the Seventies by the great Italian artist and journalist, Mino Maccari (Siena, 1898 - 1989). Black marker drawing on ivory-colored and paper. Signed "Maccari" in pencil on the lower left margin. Excellent condition: as good as new. With the incredible satiric and caustic touch of the illustrator of Il Selvaggio, this contemporray artwork depicts a kind of human experimentation: three bystanders observe that a human face comes out of a crank and funnel device. This seems to be a metaphor for images of the political manipulation of totalitarianism, an experience Maccari experienced on his own skin. This original Maccari’s drawing, in addition to the deep meaning, stands out for the beauty of the fluidity of the signsurely could enrich your private collectiuon with a Italian satiric touch and elegance! Mino Maccari (Siena, 1898 – Rome, 1989) Mino Maccari was a popular Italian painter and engraver with a caustic personality, called in 1924 by Angiolo Bencini to collaborate as illustrator for the magazine Il Selvaggio, an admittedly intransigent fascist, revolutionary and anti-bourgeois magazine. Here Maccari published his first engravings. and after he took over the direction of the Savage which he held until 1942. In 1959, he became the director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome; in 1963, he won Antonio Feltrinelli's prize for painting and became president of the San Luca Academy in 1962. In the same year of one of the biggest Italian accademic honour, Maccari managed to obtain a personal exhibition at Gallery 63 in New York. His production of drawings, watercolors, tempera, lithographs is exhausted, sometimes in collaboration with prestigious publishing houses (Strapaese, Il selvaggio), of satirical, political or erotic subject matters.
