About the Item
Italian midcentury sculpture suspension with adjustable brass diffusers by Italian sculptor Leonardi Leoncillo for Lumi Milano.
Leoncillo Leonardi (Spoleto, 1915 – Rome, 1968) is considered one of the greatest sculptors of the XXth Century, among the prominent representatives of Informal Art, European Expressionism. Leoncillo's work is characterized by a marked and brave Expressionism because relying on a colourful and fragile material: ceramic. Beyond the figurative level of the surface, this material frees the autonomous creativity of the matter, allowing it to deploy rhythms that are both organic and inorganic and that celebrate the prime theme of material vitalism, resulting rich and substantial.
After living at the margins of that Roman School – which influenced a lot of his first works dealing with mythological and dreamlike themes with a neo-baroque and expressionist style - Leoncillo moves soon to Umbertide (Umbria) where he improves his technical skills about ceramic materials. Here Leoncillo looks at the ancient technique of the enamelled and polychrome ceramic, making it a key element of his art based on the relationship between the material and the color.
In 1944 he takes part to a great exhibition at Galleria Nazionale di Arte Moderna in Rome. Little after the start of his career, Leoncillo exhibits at the VII Triennale in Milan where he is invited by Gio Ponti and where he will return again in 1947. The year before, he signs the manifesto of the Nuova Secessione Artistica Italiana (1946) with a group of ten artists – among them: Antonio Corpora, Renato Guttuso and Giulio Turcato – known as Fronte nuovo delle arti. In that period his production is characterized by a neo-cubistic style influenced by Picasso, made of strong contrasts and protruding surfaces. From 1948 Leoncillo is protagonist of six editions of the Venice Biennale (1948, 1950, 1952, 1954, 1960, 1968), where in 1954 a room is dedicated to his work together with Lucio Fontana. In these years many exhibitions has been organized as the one at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, or at the Italian House in New York.
