Description
Oil on canvas. Signed and attr. Roberto Crippa (Italian, 1921-1972) on the lower left corner. 13.8 x 15.7 inch (35 x 40 cm). Crippa's work in the early fifties was centered around series of paintings called Spirals , geometric and abstract: with the almost circular circular gesture (but never perfectly round) Crippa created involuted spaces, from which they generated rays that were ideally projected out of the two-dimensionality of the canvas, in line with the principles of the spatial "Manifesto". He was also known abroad for his works, Crippa reached New York , where he met the surrealists Max Ernst, Victor Brauner and Yves Tanguy, and exhibited at the Alexander Iolas gallery. The Spirals changed, becoming heavier, incisive and involute, interlaced with each other. These figures, developed between 1954 and 1956, are called Totems. In 1955 he moved to the production of multi-material works, which populated a personal exhibition at the Naviglio gallery in Milan. The following year the inspiration of the polymaterial paintings was further developed, with the production of iron, bronze and steel works inspired by primitive symbolism. With these works he participated in the 1958 Biennale. _x000D_
