Danese Presenza Degli Antenati silkscreens

"Presenza Degli Antenati" silkscreens on Citrus paper (350 gsm) The silkscreen series titled "Presenza Degli Antenati," originally introduced in 1970 as a set of six small color silkscreen paintings, is now reissued as imposing 70x70 cm silkscreens. This work captures the essence of the human face, with its myriad expressions and distinctive details, outlining a field of graphic exploration that swings between precision and imagination. Bruno Munari, a master who defined himself as a "sign inventor," uses humor to highlight and playfully critique the defining lines of faces shaped over time, achieving a graphic synthesis that proposes itself as a genuine lesson in artistic expression. The "Presenza Degli Antenati" silkscreens celebrate the majesty of simplicity and the expressive power of drawing, reflecting Munari's ability to rethink human representation with original intensity. Each print, unique in its kind, invites critical reflection on history and social evolution, making this work not only an object of high artistic value but also a stimulating cultural experience. Designed by Bruno Munari for Danese Milano.
