About the Item

Danza di Scheletri is an original Lithograph realized by Italian artist Carlo Carrà in 1944, signed in the plate, the edition of 55 copies, by La Conchiglia. In very good conditions. This lithograph is representing three Sketelen dancing, refer to the dead world and making a contrast and playing with the concept of life and death. Carlo Carrà (1981-1966) is an Italian Painter and a leading figure of the Futurist movement that flourished in Italy during the beginning of the 20th century. In addition to his many paintings, he wrote a number of books concerning art. lived through and participated in all the avant-garde art movements of the 20th Century, from Futurism (the futurist phase lasted 4-6 years) to metaphysical art, and from the Novecento Italiano movement to the Valori Plastici experiment. “For the spirit, there exist no contradictions – only transformations and developments. Changing direction in art does not mean rejecting the past but broadening it so that it melds with another aesthetic concept; it means discovering new and hitherto unknown relationships, and opening one’s eyes wider, the better to grasp a greater number of different realities.” So did the artist explain his “chameleon-like” transformations in 1942, after having, through long experience, found his own, autonomous style, while at the same time keeping up with the most recent trends in European painting and renewing the Italian figurative tradition. In 1928, he exhibited 14 paintings at the Venice Biennale, and in 1931 he had his own room at the first Rome Quadriennale. In 1933, he signed the "Manifesto della Pittura Murale" . Between 1934 and 1938 he traveled to Campania, Algeria and Malta, devoting himself to a series of large murals. This artwork is shipped from Italy.
