Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower right. Title on the back. Fulvia Levi-Bianchi, originally from Trieste but educated in Milan, has devoted herself to painting, sculpture, and design, moving from her early figurative works of the 1960s, where academic influences of surrealism are still evident, to the large-scale portraits, sculptures, and paintings of the 1970s and 1980s, where the language becomes metaphysical and philosophical. These works established Fulvia Levi-Bianchi as an internationally renowned artist, leading her to exhibit in museums and galleries around the world. She has painted portraits of many famous people. Here is the portrait of a friend.
