{"product_id":"mario-sironi-le-montagne","title":"Mario Sironi - The Mountains","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. In Mario Sironi's paintings, landscape subjects have characterized the various phases of his artistic production. In particular, urban, industrial landscapes prevailed in the Magic Realism phase; in this case, however, we have a mountain view created in a more expressionist style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis work documents a more synthetic and abstract phase in Mario Sironi's work compared to the \"return to order\" period. The mountain landscape is depicted with a remarkable expressionist synthesis that reduces forms to the essential, resulting in a dramatic composition of broken and fragmented lines. In this sense, the conception of a complex, non-univocal space, constructed on multiple directional lines, is crucial. Formally, the artist uses a dense and material pictorial layering with broad strokes and an almost gestural approach. Regarding the palette, the predominance of brown and dark tones is a recurring theme in Mario Sironi's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe work has been attributed to Mario Sironi. A native of Sassari, where he was born in 1885 and died in Milan in 1961, his artistic career is primarily linked to the Novecento group, which, coinciding with the general climate of a return to order in European painting after the historical avant-garde, advocated a return to the Italian pictorial tradition and an exaltation of plastic values. Sironi's works are distinguished by the rationality of their compositional structure, especially in his famous urban landscapes, imbued with magical realism. Throughout his career, however, Sironi also traversed several more expressionist and synthetic phases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Margherita Salvatore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215843602818,"sku":"SMAR001","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-20201214-WA0006.jpg?v=1768429812","url":"https:\/\/venderequadri.it\/en\/products\/mario-sironi-le-montagne","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
