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.

  • Poseidon, a Metallic Blue, Petrol & Teal Green Glass Sculpture by Bethany Wood
    By Bethany Wood
    Located in London, GB
    'Poseidon' is a unique artwork by the British artist, Bethany Wood. An equal passion for painting physically inspires how she controls and manipulates her glass. Recreating the fleeting nature of brush strokes, Wood’s molten colours traverse across the surface of her glass canvases blending in a myriad of hues. Unlike their flat painterly counterparts, these combine and merge, forming spontaneous watery and lava like abstract relief flourishes. Taking inspiration from a wide range of sources, Wood’s influences are taken directly from the world around us, elements of the inner-city sit alongside expansive landscapes. Reoccurring themes are Graffiti & Urban Culture, exploration & travel. In the artist's own words; "As a multidisciplinary artist, I have begun to merge my two artistic passions, painting and Glassmaking. I like to express myself with the fluidity of the material. The Directional arrangement of a colour palette can form the depth of an abstract Landscape. I use my own paintings as a reference whilst making in the hot shop. Each individual artwork from my series has been inspired by a specific place. Serendipity of abstraction has always been an inspiration for me; the coincidental elements which catch the eye of the viewer. The palette, composition and depth I have attained are taken from nature, with a bold but elegant swipe of my own personal, Expressionist style" Rising glass star, Wood graduated from De Montfort...
