Untitled is a beautiful original colored lithograph on cream-colored paper realized by the Italian artist Primo Conti (1900-1988). An original print, representing an abstract colorful composition, is hand-signed, dated and numbered in Roman numerals and in pencil by the artist on the lower margin. A rare lithograph, an artist's proof (on seventeen artist's proofs) from a historical edition of 1973, published by La Nuova Foglio, a publishing house of Macerata. A contemporary artwork demonstrating a full mastery of this print technique, perfect for every kind of furniture, give your home a touch of modernity! Umberto Primo Conti (Florence, 1900 - Fiesole, 1988) The Italian painter, composer and writer immediately became interested in painting, and already at the age of eleven when he realized his self-portrait he had a remarkable response among the critics. In 1913 he composed the musical work Romanza for violin and piano and had a first encounter with the Florentine futurists, from which Conti had an interest in the style of the movement, which grew until he met Giacomo Balla in Rome and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1917 in Naples, he decided to join the Futurist Movement. To Futurism will give its fundamental contribution with the paintings and drawings executed between 1917 and 1919, the year in which his style evolved towards a Metaphysical vision. From 1935 to 1939 he collaborated with the lively Maggio Musicale Fiorentino with sets, sketches and costumes; in 1941 he became professor of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. From 1947 to 1957 he was president of the Fine Arts Society. Between 1948 and 1963 he went through a profound mystical vocation and became part of the Franciscan Order. In 1983 he published his autobiography entitled The throat of the blackbird. In the meantime, in 1980, with the donation of his villa in Fiesole, he had chosen to create his own collection of historical avant-gardes, which still runs the Primo Conti Museum, with his collection of paintings and his archive.
