Mino Maccari
La Danse - Ink Drawing by Mino Maccari - 1960s

1960s

About the Item

La Danse is an original drawing on paper, realized around the 1960s by the great Italian artist and journalist, Mino Maccari (Siena, 1898 - 1989). China ink on paper. Signed in pencil on the lower margin at the center. With the incredible satiric and caustic touch of the illustrator of Il Selvaggio, this contemporray artwork depicts the dance of men and women in a circle (a clear reference to Matisse's La danse) near a burning city. The line is very concise and rapid, typical of sketches. In excellent condition except for some imperceptible aging signs, this original Maccari’s drawing could be a part of your private collectiuon with the added value of 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 etc. is exhausted, sometimes in collaboration with prestigious publishing houses (Strapaese, Il selvaggio), of satirical, political or erotic subject matters.
