Description

Color lithograph, on Magnani-Pescia paper. Paper size 43cmx55cm, work size 33cmx44cm. Excellent condition, no defects. Enrico Benaglia was born in 1938 in Rome, where he lives and works. In the 1960s and early 1970s, thanks to the authenticity of his painting, Benaglia came into contact with a cultural world of poets and actors, including Luciano Luisi, Renato Civello, Claudio Rendina, Mario Lunetta, Nanni Fabbri, Riccardo Cucciolla, Gabriella Sobrino, Umberto Serafini and Guido Ruggiero, who contributed to the development and definition of his particular poetic world. Starting in the 1980s, Benaglia definitively placed himself in the national artistic panorama thanks to the identification of an original and symbolic iconography, linked to the world of fairy tales and mythology. The great success with the public and critics is confirmed by the succession, starting from the 1990s, of large institutional exhibitions in Italy and abroad. Among all, we remember The Enchanted Salon at the Castle of LAquila in 1998, Permanent States of Instability at Villa Letizia in Treviso in 2000, The Secret Garden at the Vittoriano Museum in Rome in 2002, Geography of Emotions at the Museum of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena in 2004, Interior Path at the Civic Art Gallery of Teramo in 2007, Collages-Paintings at the Vitelli Art Gallery of Citt di Castello in 2008, Benaglias Circus at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome in 2010 and Mediterranean Splendour.
