Portrait of man with glasses is an original drawing on paper, realized around the seventies by the great italian artist and journalist, mino maccari (siena, 1898 - 1989). A fountain pen drawing on ivory-colored and water-colored paper "p. M. Fabriano". Signed "maccari" in black china ink on the lower right margin. Excellent condition, except for a usual and light yellowing of the paper on edges. With the incredible touch of the illustrator of il selvaggio , this contemporray artwork depicting a male profile with a superb hatching, reveals the talented maccari as draftsman. This original maccari’s drawing, surely could be yours at affordable prices and could give your private collection a italian satiric touch and elegance! mino maccari (siena, 1898 – rome, 1989) mino maccari was a popular italian painter and engraver with a caustic personality, called in 1924 by angiolo bencini to collaborate as illustrator for the magazine il selvaggio, an admittedly intransigent fascist, revolutionary and anti-bourgeois magazine. Here maccari published his first engravings. And after he took over the direction of the savage which he held until 1942. In 1959, he became the director of the academy of fine arts in rome; in 1963, he won antonio feltrinelli's prize for painting and became president of the san luca academy in 1962. In the same year of one of the biggest italian academic honor, maccari managed to obtain a personal exhibition at gallery 63 in new york. His production of drawings, watercolors, tempera, lithographs etc. Is exhausted, sometimes in collaboration with prestigious publishing houses (strapaese, il selvaggio), of satirical, political or erotic subject matters. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
