About the Item

Giuseppe Rivadossi (Nave, July 8, 1935) Female Majesty "Rosada" 10/04/2008 Lime Tree Wood Sculpture Dimensions: 95.5 x 140 x 60 cm Depicted is a haughty female figure, softly leaning on her side and looking away. A sculpture of considerable size and great aesthetic impact, Maestà Femminile "Rosada," powerfully expresses the descriptive poetics and skills master's technical-executive. It is therefore surely to be regarded as one of the most representative sculptural works of his work. Incredible is also the tactile effect of the sculpture that, if grazed at any point, is able to give us a feeling of velvety softness that confirms the aesthetic one, generated by viewing the work. Giuseppe Rivadossi was born in Nave, in the province of Brescia, july 8, 1935. Inheriting an interest in art from his father Clement, he officially began his art career in the 1960s, approaching the study of furniture and of woodcarving, plaster, terracotta and bronze. Multiple materials are thus used in his achievements, always inspired by man, his values and and his "living." Giuseppe Rivadossi says: I have seen woodworking since I was a child. Until the 1960s," where I now live, the man-man, man-nature relationship was still based on an ancient ethic. Then industry came, and with it the looting began. The hope for a less harsh life soon turned into a bitter realization. The new technology that was only supposed to be a more improved tool turned out to be a tool of frustration and general disruption. In this situation, I feel more and more deeply the need to express that underlying sense of unity in existence, as a basic idea not to be lost or to be found at all costs every day and in everything. Now these images, these sculptures, and this furniture arise from the depths of my experience as a song, of that hope and the only alternative that lies before us rather than of nostalgia for the past.
