Large Orange Giovanni de Simone 1960 Vase with Picasso Style Warriors

About the Item

Large orange Giovanni De Simone 1960 vase with Picasso style warriors. In his hometown he founded his own workshop "Maioliche d'Arte De Simone" at piazza Leoni 2 in Palermo: it was the 1950s and here he devoted himself to the production of use ceramics and decorative wall tiles and traditional furnishings painted by hand. His evolution as an artist led him to create works inspired by primitivism but characterized by a burlesque and festive vein with enamel decorations in bright colors, often given in thickness, as objects of use for furnishings and majolica sculptures in traditional and modern style. The light-hearted reinterpretation, full of bright shades that also reflect the most traditional Sicilian art, allow the ceramist De Simone to enlarge his firm by transferring the production to Rome. The original style of Giovanni De Simone has been defined as a synthesis between the great formal lesson of masters such as Picasso, Matisse, Leger and Klee and elements taken from the folklore and traditions of Sicily.
