{"product_id":"aligi-sassu-arianna-2-2-2","title":"Aligi Sassu - Arianna","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAriadne is a popular character in Greek mythology: daughter of Minos, she helped Theseus escape the labyrinth with the help of the famous thread. Ariadne and Theseus, overcome by passion, fled Crete together, but the woman was later abandoned on the island of Naxos. According to mythology, it was the god Dionysus who saved her from despair and took her as his wife. Throughout the history of Western art, subjects inspired by the myth of Ariadne are frequent, especially in movements that drew inspiration from classicism. In particular, the most frequently depicted themes are those of Ariadne on Naxos and Bacchus (Dionysus) and Ariadne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn this small sculpture, a static element by definition, we see a different approach than Aligi Sassu's, which often focused on the expression of dynamic and uncontrollable forces. This sculpture, instead, demonstrates the artist's interest in the synthesis of form. The subject undergoes a reduction of its anatomy and physiognomy, and this operation is conducted in a rigorously Expressionist manner. Indeed, the synthesis of the subject is conceived to create a curvilinear and sinuous compositional rhythm, whose primary reference is the Expressionist avant-garde of the first half of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Falasconi Fabiano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56211767296386,"sku":"FFAL001","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/venderequadri.it\/en\/products\/aligi-sassu-arianna-2-2-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
