{"product_id":"alberto-sughi-giovane-donna","title":"Alberto Sughi - Young Woman","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the nude is the ultimate expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the nude has also been a central theme in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe painting is a perfect example of Alberto Sughi's pictorial poetics. The subject depicted, in fact, displays a paucity of physiognomic details, of objective particulars that could identify it or even place it in a social context. Sughi's existentialist painting is not interested in external social reality, but rather in the person's interior, which the artist explores through his expressive means. The pictorial deformations that characterize this subject are precisely the medium Sughi uses to express his existentialist anxieties. The figure almost merges with the decontextualized space in which it is placed, were it not for the thick black line that delineates its form in a rarefied manner. Within this outline, Sughi's brushstrokes are structural: the brushstrokes, arranged on different planes, build the figure's volume. Finally, the strokes of white that capture sudden flashes of light on the sheet covering the woman are evocative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAlberto Sughi, Cesena 1928 - Bologna 2012, always chose the path of realism throughout his painting career. However, Sughi's realism never had a social orientation; rather, its focus shifted to the human condition, to human solitude: this is why Sughi's painting has been described as \"existentialist realism.\" In the 1960s, Sughi's realism was influenced by Bacon, presenting distortions in his subjects and spatial settings similar to those of the English artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benedetti Mario","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212934820226,"sku":"MBEN001","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-01-17-at-19.13.032.jpg?v=1768407707","url":"https:\/\/venderequadri.it\/en\/products\/alberto-sughi-giovane-donna","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
