Mino Maccari
On the Street - Pen Drawing on Paper by Mino Maccari - 1960s

1960s

About the Item

Per strada (On the Street) is an original pen drawing on paper, realized around the Seventies by the great Italian artist and journalist, Mino Maccari (Siena, 1898 - 1989). Black China ink (fountain pen), with traces of pink watercolor, on ivory colored paper. Excellent condition, except for some stains on the left margin. With the satiric and caustic touch of the illustrator of Il Selvaggio, this contemporray artwork depicts a sort of human micorcosmo: a military man, a smoking pipe man, a delirious man, a sitting man, a man of church, and other characthers. This original Maccari’s drawing, with a n incredible fluid sign, surely 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 academic honor, 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.
