About the Item

Abstract work on special paper, created using a mixed media technique that includes watercolor, diluted tempera, and ink. The piece clearly belongs to the abstract and expressionist movement typical of the early 1960s. It bears a signature (illegible) and is dated 1963. The composition stands out for its dynamic interplay of graphic marks and transparent layers of color—shades of brown, , beige and black—forming a complex and visually rich structure. The pictorial language recalls the European aesthetic—particularly French and Italian—of Art Informel (or gestural abstraction) and Tachisme, movements that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, with affinities to the gestural experimentation of artists like Emilio Scanavino and Georges Mathieu. It is a language that relies on spontaneous gesture and material texture, also echoing elements of American Abstract Expressionism—think Franz Kline or Robert Motherwell—yet with a more lyrical and intimate tone. Particularly noteworthy is the type of paper used by the artist: thick, compact, with a visibly pronounced grain and a slightly rigid feel. This highly tactile support plays a key role in enhancing the expressive impact of the work. The condition is good, with minor signs of age consistent with the artwork’s period. Dimensions: width 38 cm (14,9 in), height 50 cm (19,7 in). The piece is sold unframed, allowing the buyer to select a presentation that best suits their space and interior style

Max Marra Painting Mixed Technique on Canvas, Italy
By Max Marra
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Work of the famous Italian painter Max Marra, paint mixed technique on canvas dated 2004, titled "Judges", on the back of the painting we find a “Certificate of Authenticity”, a photo of the author with signature and his biography, since the latter is written in Italian, we proceeded to translate it here below. Still, on the back of the picture, we can see two small repairs done by the author himself. Max Marra was born in Paola, Calabria, in 1950. He lives in Monza and works in Lissone. Matured graphic and television experiences, from the 1980s he directed his research towards the integration of expressive technique in painting and sculpture with recycled materials. He works in the H: Orarte laboratory, which he shares with Mario De Leo. He links the teaching and commitment of cultural, organizational, and editorial promotion to artistic activity. With Mario De Leo, Luigi Bianco and other operators founded the Oason Movement in 1985 and then Harta, a bi-monthly cultural interaction, which was later joined by the Hartamotus Association. In 1988 he founded Lissone, with Mario De Meo, the interdisciplinary art studio H: Orarte, open to the consideration, dialogue, and confrontation of other artists, active in organizing cultural initiatives and events. His activity is linked to themes and specific cultural projects, identifiable in the contents and expressive tools. Strong hills, strong features, biting ideas, but also some stops in the white, which is air, which is infinite, to be captured in heavy frames, almost in a purification ritual. He exhibits in a personal exhibition in a private gallery, public institutions, participates in thematic exhibitions, and national and international collective exhibitions are present in Germany, France, Japan.
