Mixed technique on paper - 1990 circa
Work on paper by Anna Antola. Salomè was a Jewish princess, inspiring Muse for many artists and writers as for example Heine and Wilde. Also Antola created a homage to her: the princess is naked and her posture is graceful, the shades are subtle and the colors are watered. Her gaze is deep and alluring to capture the viewer.
The work is signed lower right and the title is lower left.
1930 Milan, Italy
Anna Àntola was born in Milan, in 1930. She was very attached to her hometown.
Her paint is considered naïf. It's characterized by bright colours and dreamful atmospheres fluctuate between her protagonists' unconscius (principally women) and a fairy world.
She studied at first at the Art School of Castello Sforzesco and then at Brera Accademy in Milan; during theese years she meets Masters as Domenico Cantatore e Carlo Carrà. She loves art and music since when she was young, she travelled very much to study the great past painting: Impressionism, 19th Century Masters and her true love, Pablo PIcasso.
Her women are soft and sensual, pleasent and eccentric. Anna Àntola tell their dreams, passions and wishes in a dreamful Milan, with its narrow streets, places and dreamlike glimpses.
Basic shapes and flat colours recall the 19yh century Expressionism, from Matisse to Gauguin. Intense hues and marked outline to describe a fantastic feminine universe with humor and sensuality.
Today we can find many works of her in many Italian and European museums, from Helsinki to Lisbon.
