Female Figure 1972

Oil on panelPainting dimensions: 14 × 58 cmFrame dimensions: 49 × 92 cmOriginal work by the painter Fausto Maria Liberatore, executed in 1972. The painting depicts a slender, frontal female figure, constructed through dense painterly matter and an essential color palette dominated by earthy tones, greys, and red accents that enhance the expressive tension of the work.The figure, deliberately simplified and almost totemic, reflects the artist’s exploration of the human body as a vehicle for introspection and emotional intensity, with clear references to post-war expressionism. The brushwork is energetic and instinctive, while the vertical composition emphasizes a sense of isolation and vulnerability.The artwork is housed in a coeval gilt frame of large dimensions, which highlights the strong contrast between the vertical panel and the wide neutral fabric mount.Overall good condition.Signed and dated lower right.A work of clear interest for collectors of 20th-century Italian painting and for admirers of expressionist figuration.
