Collage, frame, glass, 19,5 × 19,5 cm, signed on the reverse at the bottom centre I. Primi 65In the 1920s Italo Primi studied at the Accademia Ligustica
di Belle Arti in Genoa. His teacher was the sculptor Guido Galletti, who
most famous for his 2.5 metre high underwater sculpture "Cristo degli"
erected in 1954 near the Ligurian coast. In his artistic career
Italian Primi's artistic career can be traced back to many important events in the European
art history of the 20th century. His early work was influenced by Expressionism,
but then he went through a phase in which pictorial means became increasingly
more autonomous.
In his exploration of pictorial space and the space of the viewer, and in his integration of
of the temporal moment, he shares similarities with the artists of Gruppo N
and Gruppo T, founded in Padua and Milan respectively in 1959.
In the 1960s, he began to create constructivist and concrete
works and also painted wooden reliefs, which are marked by aspects of
kinetic art, minimalism and op-art."
