Description:
|
During the years of his training, Rosai was fascinated by French painting and by artists such as Courbet, Daumier, Cézanne and above all Corot, who was inspired by the works exhibited in his first solo exhibition of 1913. In the same year, however, he met Ardengo Soffici and became acquainted with the Futurist movement, of which he shared a brief phase with works such as this, from 1914, inspired by the collage technique, with the abundant use of fragments and scraps of printed paper.
