About the Item
The work is attributable to the painter Mario Barbieri, dated 1977. The scene depicts two monumental, stylized, and geometric male figures clutching a bunch of grapes or a branch of leaves in their arms.
The style is strongly expressionist-geometric, with massive bodies broken down into planes of light and shadow.
The faces have simplified, almost "archaic" or mask-like features, with echoes of cubism and social muralism (something reminiscent of the figurative language of artists such as Leger, Sironi, or Mexican muralists).
The background is composed of fields of pure color (blue, red, black) that give rhythm to the composition.
The subject evokes values of strength, work, community, and the fertility of nature: very consistent with the Italian and international art of the 1960s and 1970s, which was linked to social and symbolic realism. Probably oil on canvas or tempera/acrylic on canvas (the texture suggests more acrylic or vinyl tempera, typical of the 1970s).
Signed lower right (initials/sign).
Contemporary wooden frame with fabric mat.
There is also a label/stamp on the back:
"Executed at the Accademia Permanente Ambrosiana d'Arte - Milan"
This tells us that the painting was exhibited or created in an academic setting in Milan, at the Accademia Ambrosiana d'Arte.
Therefore, we can place it within the context of Milanese academic production of the early 1970s. The measurements are with frame

Painting by Bowes David, Untitled
Located in Milano, IT
Painted painting by BOWES DAVID, Untitled from 1986.
Details: Signature and year at upper left. Technique : drawing on Fabriano Watermark.
His figures have a theatrical air, especially those with the appearance of Pierrot and Columbine and other Commedia dell'Arte characters. Consciously flirting with the decorative, Bowes often compresses the background and foreground, as in wallpaper, and there is a suggestion of fabric design in the way he repeats his patterns at intervals on the surface. In some images, patterns emerge. In others, the pattern overwhelms itself
