the poster is in very good condition however at some point it has been touched up on the black sky with what could be black paint, this certainly does not detract from the poster as it displays very well. This is a one of it’s kind !
the poster is very large measuring 80cm x 140cm
piero fornasetti (milan, 10 november 1913 - 15 october 1988) was an italian versatile and eclectic artist, characterised by an unstoppable creative flair that made him one of the most prolific figures of the 20th century, and difficult to ascribe to a specific movement.
piero fornasetti (10 november 1913 - 9 october 1988) was an italian painter, sculptor, interior decorator, and engraver.
he lived most of his life in milan, attending the brera art academy from 1930-32 when he was expelled for insubordination. During world war ii, he went into exile in switzerland from 1943-46. He created more than 11,000 items, many featuring the face of a woman, operatic soprano lina cavalieri, as a motif. Fornasetti found her face in a 19th-century magazine. “what inspired me to create more than 500 variations on the face of a woman?” asks italian designer, piero fornasetti of himself. “i don’t know,” he admits, “i began to make them and i never stopped.” the “tema e variazioni” (theme and variation) plate series based on cavalieri's face numbered more than 350.
other common features in his work include heavy use of black and white, the sun, and time. His style is reminiscent of greek and roman architecture, by which he was heavily influenced.
today it is most common to see fornasetti's style in fashion and room accessories such as scarves, ties, lamps, furniture, china plates and tables. His son, barnaba fornasetti, continues to design in his father's name.
