Description

Description: Alessandri has drawn a nutty critter holding a paintbrush in red ink and inscribed and dated it “9/81″.

The sketch is done in the white space between two images of his paintings. It appears that this is part of a page from an exhibition catalogue with biographical information on the verso and printed on glossy stock.

4 1/2″ x 5”. Item #A02098

Lorenzo Alessandri (1927-2000) is considered by some to be the father of Italian surrealism. At the end of WWII he opened his first studio and later coined the term “Surfanta” (a blend of surrealism and fantasy) to describe the movement he spearheaded.

Condition: Fine condition.
