Information
tempera on wood
57 x 56 cm
Original painting created by De Gaspari in 1972 and completed in 2007, depicting his famous "atelier on water", his stilt house which he himself called The World of the Moon. A symbolic work of one of the most brilliant illustrators of the 20th century, of an eccentric artist who never separated art from existence, of a romantic man and an assiduous traveller. De Gaspari represents an idea of the twentieth century, also Italian, son of the European avant-garde of the beginning of the century which will end up clashing with the harshness of modernity and the pragmatism of a technique that will become an aseptic and rational language; an exile in his homeland therefore incapable of submitting to the rules of modernity. Signed and dated.
