Proof By Mino Maccari
A fascinating print by Mino Maccari, one of the great masters of 20th-century Italian engraving and satire. The work features a profile portrait with a distinctly surrealist character: elegantly shod female legs emerge from the figure’s eye, a bold visual metaphor for desire or the male gaze—recurring and often caustic themes in Maccari’s art.
The linework is vigorous, typical of the artist’s hand, capable of blending a certain expressionist brutality with a refined compositional sensibility. The use of aquatint creates a grainy, deep background that lends strength and contrast to the subject.
