拍品專文

This unique example is the prototype of a series of pictorial experiments started in the 1930s and developed in the early 1950s. In this exceptional example De Poli exposes his artistic training by his painterly use of enamel, applied with tremendous vibrance and depth of colour. The organic arrangement of forms is in balance with the then-current biomorphic tendencies in avant-garde art and design, and immediately recalls the art of Arp and Matisse, and the sculptural forms of Noguchi.

De Poli exhibited an example of his enamel-painted trays at the XXVI Triennale of 1951, and a further example at the IX Biennale d'Arte Triventa in Padua.
