Otto Macerini (1927-2022) - Senza titolo 1955 (No Reserve)

Otto Macerini (1927–2022) – Untitled 1955 Artist: Otto Macerini (1927–2022) Title: Untitled (Rosina) Date of creation: November 27, 1955 Technique: oil on masonite Dimensions: 20 × 24 cm Signature: signed Artist catalog number: 13 Provenance: artist's family archive Description of the work Original painting by Otto Macerini, created on November 27, 1955 and depicting a rose in a vase. The artwork presents an essential composition in which the floral subject is interpreted through a geometric language and an articulated construction of space. The flower, with its petals in warm and dark tones, emerges from a background made up of overlapping planes and angular shapes, interwoven to create a balance between figure and environment. The palette is characterized by greens, ochres, browns, orange, and accents of red and blue. These colors, distributed in clearly defined fields, give the image depth and visual rhythm, surpassing a purely naturalistic representation of the subject. Created in the second half of the 1950s, the painting documents Macerini's interest in formal synthesis and in a personal reinterpretation of everyday life subjects. Even a traditional theme like the flower thus becomes an occasion for exploring form, color, and spatial organization. Among the photographs in the insert, the original sketch of the work is also shown, taken from the artist’s sketchbook, a precious testimony to the creative process and the preparatory work that accompanies the realization of the painting (shown solely for documentary and illustrative purposes and not included in the sale). The modest dimensions, 20 × 24 cm, make this work an interesting example of the artist’s small-format production. Provenance and authenticity: The work comes directly from Otto Macerini's family archive and is identified with the number 13 in the artist's catalog. It will be accompanied by the Certificate of Authenticity issued by the family archive, attesting to its originality and provenance. A copy of the attribution statement of the artistic coefficient prepared by Prof. Ilario Luperini, art historian and critic, relating to Otto Macerini’s artistic production, is also included. Shipping: The painting will be carefully packaged, with particular attention to protection during transport, to ensure its arrival at its destination in the best possible condition.
