Edition bottom left (as indicated on the Sigma publisher label, the work was completed with the artist's hand intervention and is therefore to be considered a unique piece). Stamps: Sigma dry stamp. Back of the piece bears the Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca, Arezzo stamp. Conditions: Fair. Very vivid and beautiful colors. Full margins (barely) untrimmed, typical of handmade artisanal paper created with a "hand machine" process. There are signs of blooming and some stains, which in our opinion do not compromise the beauty of the work. It was decided not to proceed with restoration or washing in order not to consume the brushstroke, which, as the images show, is very clearly visible. Photos are an integral part of the description). Minor flaws attributable to the artistic/artisanal nature of the piece, a small crease at the top right area that is easily concealable once the work is framed. DOCUMENTATION Certificate of authenticity from Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca. EXHIBITIONS Graphic art - Selected - Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca, Arezzo, March 2025. DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK We offer at auction a vibrant and intense work by Remo Brindisi, entitled "Pastoral Maternity" and datable to the 1970s. Our Gallery has collaborated directly with the Master, who has taken part in several of our exhibitions, and today continues to actively handle his work. The work addresses one of Brindisi's most dear and iconic themes: motherhood and the rural world, understood as primal symbols of affection, roots, and humanity. Technically, we are dealing with a lithographic stone base that the artist skillfully and extensively touched up by hand with acrylic paints. This direct painting intervention gives the work texture, uniqueness, and the characteristic energy and expressionistic drive that distinguish the Master's unmistakable stroke. A very rare and sought-after piece. BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL NOTES ON THE ARTIST Remo Brindisi (Rome, 1918 - Lido di Spina, 1996) was one of the most incisive and recognizable figures of 20th-century Italian painting. Trained in Penne, L'Aquila, Rome, and Urbino, he developed over his life a highly personal language in which the lessons of Expressionism, cubist-derived decompositions, and informal tendencies converge. His long and prolific career was marked by a strong social and civil commitment, translated on canvas through cycles dedicated to universal themes (motherhood, peace, the oppressed, the shepherd figure). Brindisi participated in numerous editions of the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale, establishing an international reputation. Also of fundamental importance was his activity as a collector and patron, culminating in the founding of the "Museo Alternativo Remo Brindisi" in Lido di Spina, an avant-garde house-museum that gathers masterpieces of international contemporary art, later donated to the public.
