Giorgio Cortassa - The Doll

During the 1950s and 1960s, the so-called poetics of the object began to spread in European and American art. Harking back to the readymade of Dadaist memory, a new wave of groups or movements emerged that repurposed everyday objects as works of art. The departure from traditional Dada lay in the strong influence of Abstract Expressionism, which led to the reconfiguration of objects with new languages ​​and new stimuli.

Although the modernist object is the protagonist in this work by Giorgio Cortassa, his pictorial conception departs from the poetics of New Dada in terms of the painting's formal form. Indeed, the form pursued by this artist is recognized through an exquisitely hyperrealist language. The object is impeccably reproduced, and the painting is conceived with a metaphysical atmosphere. All this is possible thanks to Cortassa's excellent technique, based on a perfect realistic rendering and a subtle painterly quality, just enough to integrate the forms into the neutral, decontextualized space. In the background, the uniform light enhances the rational and essential lines of the landscape.

Giorgio Cortassa is an artist born in Carmagnola in 1944. His artistic output is truly eclectic, with a strong experimental focus. His works range from pop aesthetics to metaphysics, reaching heights of abstract expressionism.
