Ennio Finzi (1931) - Senza titolo 1957

Ennio Finzi cm 24,8 32,8 Year 1957 Authentic from a photograph of the Master Technique: watercolor on white cardboard Drawing Palladio Work of exceptional rarity and quality Works from the 1950s are hard to find «Color is the Retina that is intoxicated by Beauty, seeking help from Hearing» (Ennio Finzi, 2008) Ennio Finzi was officially considered the last Spatialist painter; in fact, as he himself recalls, in 1947 he was only 16 years old and could not be enrolled in the Spatialism movement as Tancredi Parmeggiani (1927 - 1964) who at the time was twenty years old[1]. The friendship and artistic exchange with the great painter Tancredi, which has also been celebrated by important critical writings and exhibitions[3], certainly led him to enter the circle of some of the greatest representatives of painting and culture of the Fifties and Sixties, such as Giuseppe Capogrossi, Ettore Sottsass, Umbro Apollonio, and to work in close conjunction with the leading Venetian masters of that movement, such as Virgilio Guidi, Riccardo Licata, or Emilio Vedova; it was always Tancredi who introduced him to the great American collector Peggy Guggenheim[1]. For all the Fifties Finzi pursued a fundamentally spatialist quest focused on the use of color and on dissonant and atonal effects.
