Piero Dorazio
1927 - 2005
Vanitosa Pastorale. 1958.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated in the lower right. 146 x 114 cm (57.4 x 44.8 in).
• A pivotal point: In the late 1950s, Dorazio moved from highly sensual compositions of intersecting lines—which were still very much the focus of his early work—to his later, more austere, complex, and vibrant color structures.
• Color, light, and rhythmic structures are the central elements of his painting.
• Exhibited at the 30th Venice Biennale in 1960 and at the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome in the year of its creation.
• Part of a private collection in Berlin for over 40 years.
