Description
A contemporary modern figurative serigraph on paper titled "Marco" by Nicola Simbari. Hand signed in pencil with an annotation of 147/300 on the lower left. Published in 1978. A luminous and emotionally resonant composition that captures a contemplative young figure seated along a sun-drenched Mediterranean coastline. Rendered in Simbari’s signature palette of vivid, sun-soaked hues—turquoise blues, rich oranges, and earthy siennas—the composition buzzes with expressive, painterly strokes that bring both setting and subject to life. Boats, parasols, and seaside activity fill the background, anchoring the scene in a place of leisure and warmth. Simbari’s energetic application of color and his keen eye for light imbue the work with a vibrant immediacy, while the pensive pose of the boy named Marco adds a sense of introspection. A master of capturing mood through modernist figuration, Simbari creates a scene that is as emotionally compelling as it is visually striking. From a private collection. Dimensions: 37"h x 40"w x 1"d (framed). In very good condition.
Nicola Simbari (1927–2012) was a celebrated Italian painter known for his bold use of color and expressive modernist style. A graduate of the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, Simbari gained international acclaim in the 1950s and 1960s, exhibiting in prestigious venues including the Royal Academy in London, the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh, and major galleries across Europe and the U.S. His dynamic works earned commissions from major institutions such as the Italian Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair and the Vatican. Simbari’s paintings are held in notable private and public collections worldwide, cementing his legacy as one of Italy’s foremost postwar artists.
