Tempera on paper applied to canvas. Signed lower right. On the back is the label of the Galleria Cadario in Milan, where the work was exhibited. The work is accompanied by an authentication from the Mario Sironi Archive, with archive number 4/25: During his career, Sironi has joined various artistic movements and even founded one together with other artists, as in the case of the Novecento Italiano movement. Over the years, Sironi has been a member of Futurism, the Italian avant-garde born in 1909 with the famous manifesto by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti; after which for a certain period he was also influenced by the Metaphysical movement, founded in the 1920s by Giorgio de Chirico, and starting from the 1930s his painting abandoned the clear sign of the first Novecento season to go through an expressionist period, characterized by an approximation of the figure and a marked brushstroke. The female figure has always been the protagonist in Mario Sironi's works, gradually represented in different ways, following the evolution of the artist's style. This figure is part of the production of the 50s, in which Sironi lived withdrawn, avoiding recognition and even refusing invitations to the most prestigious events; it was a period of solitude and depression that, however, from an artistic point of view, revealed itself to be surprisingly generative at times: starting from 1942, Sironi fell back on a metaphysical reflection with very heterogeneous works, in which clear tones and dark spatulas, mannequins and empty atmospheres alternate. The work is presented in a frame.
