Description : Natura morta con macchina da scrivere

Oil on the table. Signed and dated at the bottom right. The composition presents on a homogeneous background, an old typewriter, together with a persimmon with its leafy branch. Gianni Cacciarini, a self-taught Florentine artist who is a painter but also an engraver, loves to create these compositions that offer old objects from the past - typewriters, a shoe stitcher, adjustable glass and metal lampshades, a blowtorch, fans, heaters. , screwdrivers, bottles and bottles of inks and beer, oils and acids, telephones, books, registers, cut crystal inkwells, cases, light bulbs, pencils, pens - for the most part evoked by the printing laboratory of the grandfather, with the intention of making the viewer forget their functional and instrumental properties, to present them rather as "dried collections, but transferred into a sort of embalming that borders on a remote archeology, an already legendary present or near past" . The work is presented in a frame.
