Pamono Roberto Crippa, Modern Composition, Crayon Drawing on Paper, 1969, Framed> Work On Paper

Crayons on paper, drawings on both front and back. The back features a Roberto Crippa General Catalog tag with catalog number. The work is accompanied by a photo certificate from Galleria Pace in Milan, signed by the artist and containing technical data (this photo corresponds to the drawing currently on the back of the frame, likely due to an error in mounting it in the frame). Roberto Crippa was an exponent of Italian Spatialism, for which he signed the Third Manifesto drafted by Lucio Fontana in 1950. His works are characterized by abstract geometric figures, which from 1955 onwards became polymaterial, created by assembling various materials, even very different from each other (iron, bronze, asbestos, cork, tissue paper), then united by color. In the early 1950s, Crippa began his series of paintings called Spirali, geometric and abstract in nature: with a quasi-circular (but never perfectly round) geometric gesture, Crippa created convoluted spaces, from which rays were generated that ideally projected out of the two-dimensionality of the canvas. Framed work.
