Bruno Innocenti
Signed Bruno Innocenti Female Nude Sculpture Relief 20 century plaster wood

1950-1970

About the Item

The bass-relief is made of plaster painted with the warm color tone of the earth in order to represent terracotta. The subject is a juvenile girl, as we can see by the tenderness and freshened of her curves, that act like she’s stretching or dancing. The naturalness of the pose seems in contradiction with the strength of the look, but this is a typical sign of the art of Bruno Innocenti that, while portraying, was trying to catch the complexity of the human kind. It can be dated to the half of the XX century thanks to comparisons with other works of the same years. It's signed BRUNO INNOCENTI on the right lap. Bruno Innocenti was a pupil and a collaborator of Libero Andreotti. When Andreotti died, Innocenti took his place as Sculpting Professor at the Art Institute of Florence, where he continue teaching until 1975. Between 1925 and 1949, he took part in lot of exhibitions in several Italian cities and an entire room was dedicated to him at the Venice Biennale in 1938. In 1946, Innocenti lived in the United States for about a year. In New York, that year, he exhibited at the Architectural League and, a few years later, he took part in a collective exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum. From the 1950s he stopped exhibiting and devoted himself entirely to artistic production and teaching. He also produced several monumental works in Milan, Pisa, Florence and Maratea. The Florentine Academy of the Arts of Drawing, of which he was a life-long member, organized an exhibition of his drawings and sculpture in the 1985 and, after his death, another exhibition at the Department of Prints and Drawings of the Uffizi Gallery celebrated his works.
