About the Item

The bronze was first presented at the VII Quadriennale Nazionale d'Arte in Rome, which was held at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni from November 22, 1955 to April 30, 1956, with Fausto Pirandello as jury president, and which saw Giacomo Manzù win the sculpture category. It met with considerable success, so much so that it was mentioned in the article "I polli visti dagli artisti moderni" contained in the periodical "Terra e sole" dated 01-02-1956 dedicated to the works on poultry subjects featured in the VII Quadrennial and in the "Giornale del Mattino" of Florence, being described by M. Landi with "a plasticism with an ironic taste." Between 1957 and 1960 he was exhibited at the artist's solo shows at the Strozzina in Florence, the Cocchini Gallery in Livorno, Rome and Brescia. "She is not dominated by formalism as an end in itself" (M. VENTUROLI), "some are pieces of elegant workmanship, but others are absolute achievements" (G. ETNA), "an interesting sculptor that rarely happens to visit" (M. LANDI), "complete personality, intimately linked to the reality of her spirit and the power of creation" (R. MAZZARELLA), are just a few of the many positive comments that sculptor Maria Chiaromonte (until the 1940s also with the double surname Chiaromonte Fornari) has received in her short (as far as we know) career. There is very little biographical information about her, in fact, and it is mostly related to her artistic activity between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, when she lived and lived in Rome. We find her as an assiduous attendee of the Quadriennali in Rome and the Venice Biennials, but also internationally, Zurich and Paris, receiving important public commissions and counting among her collectors members of the cultural elite and the upper echelons of government.
