Black and white etching on paper, realized by the Italian artist Giovanni Korompay in 1928. Titled, numbered, and monogrammed in pencil on the lower margin. Numbered in pencil, edition of 90/100 prints. An abstract composition recalls the Venetian architectures, made with pure hatching. An original print in excellent conditions, with a dry-stamp on the lower right corner ''Area Studio''. Giovanni Korompay was born in Venice in 1904. At eighteen, he met Tommaso Marinetti. In 1922, he was part of the Futurist movement with Balla, Depero, Prampolini, Dottori. He was present in 1925 at the first exhibition of Futurist painters in Venice. In 1933-34, he presented the first Futurist sculptures in wood. From 1936 to 1942, he was always present at the Venice Biennials and in 1943 he participated in the Third Roman Quadrennial with Dottori, Tato and Prampolini. In 1946, he promoted the reconstruction of the Futurist movement and became its secretary. In 1949 and in 1951 he organized in Bologna, at the Palazzo del Podestà a national Futurist exhibition. De Gioia writes: ''he is considered one of the most representative masters of Italian abstract art \. like Morandi, solitary and silent.'' But Marinetti in his 1909 manifesto declaims: ''Korompay does not undergo this shocking charm, his style, still abstract, has a linear and chiaroscuro structure always linked in a precise physicality of the object of very clear reading.''
