Acrylic on cardboard. Signed lower right. Accompanied by authentication on photograph signed by the artist, with stamp of Galleria Bolzicco in Portogruaro (VE). Published in Catalogo generale edizioni Electa (vol. II, p. 535, no. 230). Emilio Scanavino, a painter and sculptor originally from Genoa, after a figurative beginning gave his painting post-cubist characteristics, with the forms becoming progressively stylised until they dissolved completely in the early 1950s.
In 1954, the stylised knot began to appear in his canvases, which became his hallmark, characterising all his subsequent production. In the production of the 1970s, to which the work presented here belongs, the 'knot' becomes perfectly delineated and recognisable, declined in disturbing shapes, sometimes threatening and stained with blood red. The work is presented in a frame.
