Mid-Century Vittorio Gentile White Carrara Marble Sculpture , Italy, 1960s

About the Item

"Nudo di donna" beautiful sculpture depicting a stylized woman's body, in white Carrara marble with pink shades. The artwork, characterized by curved volumes on a geometric support in grey marble. Manufacture of the Italian master Vittorio Gentile in 60s, signed lower side. VITTORIO GENTILE (1939 - 2022) Born in 1939, he was interested in the transformation of stone and form since he was a child. At 25 he established himself as a point of reference for a genre sculpture based on research, on morphoglobalism. He understood the sphere as an expansive figure and achieved important successes in Rome and the United States. It is the years of famous sculptures such as "Il Ratto", "Il Torso" that place him among the great contemporary interpreters. A success that will continue in the 80s and 90s and which will culminate in the great exhibition at the Vittoriano in 2003. Vittorio Gentile's forms have an organic genesis. They chase tensions and movements of bodies, abstractions, robust surfaces of shoulders, buttocks, torsos. The monument to Giovanni Falcone, in Castellana Sicula, the first commissioned after the Capaci massacre, represents man's attempt to free himself from the grip of the mafia, entwined in a deadly embrace. His works, exhibited all over the world, are destined to acquire even more prestige and strengthen the meaning of his work, the fulcrum of Italian contemporary art.
