Portrait of young woman

Plaster, cm 50 x 40 x h 40

Dated 10 - 1 - MCMI 

The development of a "skelted manner" in sculpture is affirmed since the 80s of the nineteenth century with Giuseppe Grandi, author of the Monument to the Five Days of Milan, Ernesto Bazzaro, Paolo Troubetzkoy, Leonardo Bistolfi until the total formal dissolution of Medardo Rosso. 

In the analysed sculpture, the recovery of an intense color that creates the shapes by approximation is clearly visible, with a suggestive play of lights and shadows. The process of tempering the form is implemented through material dissolvenze that abolish the contours and the drawing, comparable with the evanescent painting of Cremona and the sensual and intimistic luminism of Daniele Ranzoni, the two major exponents of Scapigliatura pittorica. 

The research present in this sculpture forgets the neoclassical smoothness and the nitore of romantic art, looking for effects of pictorial luminism and elaborating a personal sculptural modeling with vibrant and lively ways. The anti-academic renewal of the Scapigliatura is here in the form of a lively and vibrant modelled, comparable with the works of Paolo Troubetzkoy and Medardo Rosso. 

The investigation of the real data is found in the care given to the realization of the portrait of the young woman, not an idealized image, but a representation adherent to the truth, where the small facial defects are not masked, but reported with pride and consistency.
