Giacomo Manzù (Bergamo, 1908- Ardea, 1991), pseudonym of Giacomo Manzoni, was a famous italian artist and sculptor. He devoted himself to sculpture, but also to drawings, etchings and paintings, often centred on female models, painters, female dancers and lovers figures. His works are valued also abroad, where, as well as in Italy, he exhibited from 1933. He also won several italian and internationsl prizes thanks to his famous works and his importance in art field. His works are exposed in several museums, like Vatican Museums and Giacomo Manzù Museum in Ardea. The theme of nude woman dancering is typical in Manzù works. This theme was encouraged in 1950s by the meeting between the artist and Inge Schabel, dancer in the Sommerakademie in Salsburg, and future model for the artist. Image Dimensions : 35 x27 cm less
