Screen Print on Magnani-Pescia paper 310 gr/m2, paper size 68cm x 48cm, work size 51cmx40 cm . Good condition, no defects. Gian Paolo Berto was born and raised in the limited but fervent artistic environment of Adria in the post-war period where, apart from the isolated and not yet rediscovered genius of the Anglo-Saxon Foster, a new cultural climate was forming alongside the figures of Scarpari, Reali, Rizzi, Palmieri, Gioli. Then in Rovigo he studied with Prudenziato and Breseghello and became friends with Gabbris Ferrari. The encounter with the masters Zancanaro and Levi was dazzling and constituted the springboard for this eclectic artist into the world of contemporary Italian painting. Despite having been among the very few admitted to De Chirico's studio (but also Guttuso and Picasso), and having exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums, Berto has always exempted himself from appearing in the windows of the great art market, preferring contact, in an anti-elitist way, with the most genuine circles of the public: students, simple people, artists and intellectuals who conduct their research with rigor and autonomy with respect to fashions and trends. This does not mean that his painting is divorced from the context of contemporary art. On the contrary, the painter's characteristic appropriation of the reality that surrounds him and of the evolving forms of painting, in Berto is explicit and, as often happens in art, prophesying. In fact, the debt contracted by American Pop towards the European one is well known: a front that in its time found an attentive and operational Berto and then, in the decades that followed, ready to grasp the blossomings of the successive frontiers of art. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
