Contemporary painting by Alvaro Monnini, oil on canvas, 1940s
Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower right. The work belongs to the first period of the Florentine artist, still close to the figurative before dedicating himself definitively to Abstractionism, in particular to classical Abstractionism, of whose Manifesto of 1950 he was one of the signatories. The work is influenced by post-cubism, in the representation of a figurative subject, not broken down as in cubism, but highlighted and emphasized in simple geometric lines, variously composed, in intersection, oriented in various ways, which refer to recognizable objects but depicted not as copies of reality but as formal concepts. The work is presented in a frame.
