Primo Conti - Untitled

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

Primo Conti is, without a doubt, a master of color. This print is therefore invaluable in showing us how elegant the artist was even in his graphic works. In this portrait, Conti only needs a simple stroke to convey the subject. The level of formal abstraction is highly advanced, with a certain geometric quality that gives this work a touch of metaphysics.

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.
