Luciano Lutring - The Seductress

The 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.

In this work, Luciano Lutring seems to be inspired by the work of Colombian painter Fernando Botero. Indeed, there is the same exaltation of volume and plasticity in the human body. All this in a highly objectifying pictorial form with almost surreal overtones.

Luciano Lutring was born in Milan in 1937 and passed away in Verbania in 2013. He is best known for his criminal career, having committed numerous robberies. He was nicknamed "the usual machine gun man" for his habit of carrying the weapon in his violin case. Pardoned after 12 years in prison, Lutring devoted himself to writing and painting in the latter part of his life. He also participated in several exhibitions throughout Italy.
