Description

The sculpture of Medardo Rosso (Turin 1858 - Milan 1928) Il birichino, 1883. It starts from the mixed material, from a sculpture that by technique, frees itself from the all-round, as the fluid forms impose a single point of view on the observer and enhance the instantaneous and material perception of the work. The sculpture fully attests the plastic ability of Medardo Rosso who, fixes the light in the form, without boundary limits as Renoir did in painting. «The children's heads that repeatedly appear in Rosso's not very varied thematic are not portraits - even if at times the initial and contingent pretext was a portrait - but states of mind. His moods, the moments of truth in which this big, tender and extremely sensitive man looked at children as the pure age that lies at the sources of life. [...] », thus the sculptor Mario Negri speaks of the master of Italian sculpture.
