Primo Conti - Target Woman

The work is an abstract composition. "Abstract" derives from the Latin term "abstrahere," which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and pure colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.

Primo Conti's formal exploration ranges from more figurative productions to works like this one, which feature a complete abstraction of sensory reality. The expressive power of color remains constant, and for Conti it remains essential. Indeed, in a work like this, where all descriptive apparatus is eliminated, the expressiveness of color emerges even more forcefully. The composition is constructed using a thick, curved black line that creates fields of warm, enveloping color.

Primo Conti was a Florentine painter, born in 1900 and died in 1988. A child prodigy, he painted a self-portrait at the age of eleven. In 1913, he first encountered the Futurist movement. He decided to join the movement, to which he would make a fundamental contribution between 1917 and 1919. His artistic language later shifted toward Metaphysical Art.
