Product description
"douce rêverie" by Pino della Selva.paris 1980. Oil on canvas, baguette frame. Pino della Selva, whose real name was Giuseppe Giuffrida, was a painter, sculptor, draughtsman and engraver, as well as a poet and art critic. He was born in Catania on June 22, 1904, moved to Paris in 1931 and died in Marseille on January 12, 1987. Pino della Selva received classical training from a Sicilian painter, Angelo d'Agata. He began participating in the Paris salons in 1932. The portraits he painted, drew or engraved were essentially those of the poets whose books he illustrated. "This courageous young man is a consummate artist, and I predict a brilliant future for him" wrote Georges Normandy in the preface to the catalog of the artist's first solo exhibition in 1933. His paintings initially focused on social themes (the blind at work in 1925, workers in 1932), comparable to those of French artists Édouard Pignon and André Fougeron, and later on symbolism and surrealism. "His art goes much further than surrealism, reaching the metaphysical and mystical," wrote Joël Millon and Claude Robert, "immersing the viewer in a strange atmosphere, a world of dreams and unreality". Pino della Selva's abstract period began in the 1950s.
