{"product_id":"aligi-sassu-cavalli-selvaggi","title":"Aligi Sassu - Wild Horses","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e A noble animal, a symbol of beauty and harmony, the horse has repeatedly been a prominent subject in the history of art. Since the fourteenth century, its presence has always been obligatory in battle scenes and equestrian monuments, and painters have always found it a challenge to depict it with anatomical precision and naturalistic rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e The work is a striking example of Aligi Sassu's pictorial production, which, while remaining figurative, adopts anti-naturalistic forms. In this painting, too, we can see how the subjects are characterized by expressive deformations that accentuate their dynamism and physical effort. All the lines of the composition are designed to convey to the viewer a sense of frenetic movement and strength. The choice of color, which, in turn, does not respect natural truth but is used expressively, also contributes to this goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAligi Sassu, born in Milan in 1912, was a painter and sculptor. His painting efforts focused primarily on the representation of movement and physical strength, which is why the subject of the horse or man on horseback was always congenial to him. In the late 1970s, he and Bruno Munari drafted the pictorial manifesto \"Dynamism and Muscular Reform,\" which called for a return to anti-naturalistic forms in a dynamic sense. Much of his painting, moreover, is inspired by Delacroix and his battles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caserta Francesco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212581253506,"sku":"FCAS005","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/P_20181015_161030.jpg?v=1768406180","url":"https:\/\/venderequadri.it\/en\/products\/aligi-sassu-cavalli-selvaggi","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
