Figure with tool III
The work consists of a large, abstract, rounded red shape on which the artist has drawn the silhouette of a seated nude female figure in black. The head is in profile with a large eye and archaic hairstyle, the lower shadow of the eye marked with simple black strokes. The arms surround the head, the right arm passing in front and the left arm behind. The lower part of the body accentuates the archaic and austere forms of classical Mediterranean statuary, so that the work contains all its features, from the Mycenaean period to the neoclassicism of the 20th century, without forgetting Cubism. At the height of the middle of the body floats a red outline (the tool?) reminiscent of the silhouette of a classical tetrastyle temple with the top of the first column broken. <\/p>\n\n
(Rome, 1950 \u2013 Paris, 2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Marco Del Re was an Italian painter and engraver. In 1970, he enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture and also devoted himself to photography and theater. The Milanese gallery owner and critic Arturo Schwarz encouraged him to devote himself to painting and engraving. Marco Del Re’s artistic poetics is a tribute to the history of art, mythology, and literature reinterpreted with his own personal taste. The clear and decisive lines that characterize his drawing and painting show the influence of Roman statuary, primitivism, and the great nudes of the classical tradition. <\/p>\n\n .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2074,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1136","col-leccio","type-col-leccio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
