Information
pencil, charcoal and tempera on paper applied to cardboard
21 x 29 cm
Original illustration made by Cambellotti between 1936 and 1938 for "I grandi condottieri italiani", a work that probably remained unpublished. Cambellotti initially approached Art Nouveau, but welcomed the purely original and pioneering aspects expressed by the ideas of William Morris, and then moved towards Futurism. Like Morris, he saw in art a social, global, moralistic, pedagogical purpose in order to make it accessible to all and, like the English artist, he became the shining example of an artist-craftsman par excellence. Considered one of the most shining examples of Art Nouveau in Italy, Cambellotti was a painter, sculptor, ceramist, set designer, designer, architect and engraver, but it is perhaps in illustration that all the artistic instances he approached during his career converged. Work archived in the Cambellotti Archive with the n. 914.
