Ballpoint on paper, signed lower right. Accompanied by authentication on photo from the Mario Tozzi Archive. In the master Tozzi's extensive production there are many drawings, such as this one presented here, executed with different techniques (ink, pastel, pencil, sanguine), dedicated to the human figure. In his dry and stylised style, Mario Tozzi sketches stylised figurines, refined in their silent and discreet geometry, favoured by the absence of colour, which makes the shapes stand out on the white paper. Also in his pictorial production, Mario Tozzi's favourite subjects are, classically, figures and still lifes, but both figures and still lifes are a set of solid geometric elements, the sphere, the cylinder, the cone, etc. The bodies are elementary, essential in their lines and details, powerful, statuesque, composed of barely modelled solids, while the still lifes are a celebration of Euclidean geometry such as the jugs, bowls and flasks that are paradigms of volumetry and geometric rigour. Mario Tozzi's compositions are influenced by Cubism for certain cuts, Metaphysics for certain architectural insertions and Abstractionism for the inclusion of geometric figures. The work is presented in a frame.
