Excellent specimen.
Franco Angeli, whose real name was Giuseppe (Rome, 1935 - 1988), a self-taught painter, was one of the main exponents of the School of Piazza del Popolo, along with, among others, Mario Schifano and Tano Festa. Angeli's art is characterized by the presence of material inserts such as gauze and veils, which cover the surface of the canvas and make the subject barely visible, as if it were a distant memory in time. Gradually, Angeli's work has moved beyond the informal from which he was initially inspired to more figurative outcomes, such as ours.
Symbols recur in his works that are repeated in multiple variations. These symbols are both related to regimes, as an important part of Angeli's life and work is linked to his political engagement, and to the city of Rome, in which the artist has always lived.
