A convinced advocate of figuration and avowedly opposed to that abstractionist orientation that was leading painting, in the wake of the Paris school, toward the most extreme results of the Informal, for him synonymous with certain decadence, he always gave drawing a founding and decisive role in art. In fact, he understood it as the “starting ribbing of the work, when not an absolute expression of signifying autonomy.” In his drawings from this point of view, no less than in his paintings, he was careful to suggest a particular atmosphere of light, capable of giving depth to those existential values in which he places man, his centrality and transcendence, and his inexorable destination to decline at the center of his artistic reflection. In fact, his works are charged with a growing spirituality, even when the subjects have nothing to do with religious themes. Thus the portraits take the form of a sincere and in-depth analysis and investigation of personality with such human objectivity in the rendering of physiognomies as to bring out the relief and spiritual and human depth of the figure portrayed, even when he or she is an official figure (think of the portraits of British royalty and in particular the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II of England). These rare lithographs, taken from drawings made in charcoal and pastels, are valuable evidence of his work, and they highlight the centrality given by the artist to graphic elaboration in the finesse of execution and the ability to capture anatomical details with an exceptional naturalistic rendering, which denote the in-depth study that this author made of the works and techniques of the great Italian Renaissance masters. Pietro Annigoni (Milan 1910 - Florence 1988). In 1947 he was a signer, along with Gregorio Sciltian and the Bueno brothers, of the “Manifesto of Modern Reality Painters,” which theorized full adherence to natural truth through the use of ancient techniques used in the Renaissance. This adherence of Annigoni to naturalistic rendering of subjects led him to be a great portrait painter, appreciated by Europe's highest notables, so much so that he was called the “painter of queens.” SHIPPING AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE PAINTINGS FOR SALE: ALL THE PAINTINGS WE PRESENT FOR SALE ARE UNIQUE PIECES, ORIGINAL PAINTINGS, WHERE THEY ARE NOT LIMITED EDITION ART PRINTS (LITHOGRAPHS AND SILKSCREENS), CHOSEN WITH EXPERIENCE, PROFESSIONALISM AND PASSION.
