Collage e Acrylic on cardboard. Handsigned in red in the lower part. cm. 32.5x50 Lucio Del Pezzo (Naples, December 13, 1933 - Milan, April 12, 2020) was an Italian artist, painter and sculptor. One of the founders of the Neo-Surrealist and Neo-Dadaist Gruppo 58 in Naples, Del Pezzo has also collaborated with the magazine Documento Sud. His works from 1958-1960 featured assemblages of various objects, including fragments of popular prints and images. In 1960 he moved to Paris, then to Milan, where several monographic exhibitions were dedicated to him. The first dates back to 1974. Starting from 1962, Del Pezzo created his typical repertoire of "paintings" or "sculptures", made up of monochrome geometric panels, on which shelves or carved concavities are inserted, which support regular geometric objects (pins, wooden eggs, bowls, mannequins, etc.) sometimes very colorful. The playful aspect is always present in his object-paintings and assemblages. For the ironic tone and for the use of decontextualized everyday objects, these works refer to Pop Art; but there is an evident recovery of Giorgio De Chirico, Carlo Carrà, Giorgio Morandi (Motivo, 1967) and of the geometries of metaphysical painting. Lucio Del Pezzo passed away in Milan on April 12, 2020. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
