Sculpture "Female nude" by Vittorio Gentile, 1960s. Depicting a stylized woman's body in white Carrara marble with pink hues. Characterized by curved volumes on a geometric stand of gray marble. Signed at bottom. Vittorio Gentile (1939 - 2022) since childhood has been interested in the transformation of stone and form. At 25, he established himself as a point of reference for a genre sculpture based on research, morphoglobalism. He understood the sphere as an expansive figure and achieved important successes in Rome and the United States. Those are the years of famous sculptures such as "The Rat," "The Torso" that placed him among the great contemporary interpreters. A success that continued in the 1980s and 1990s and culminated in the major exhibition at the Vittoriano in 2003. Gentile's forms have an organic genesis, chasing tensions and movements of bodies, abstractions, robust surfaces of shoulders, buttocks, torsos. The monument to Giovanni Falcone, in Castellana Sicula, the first commissioned after the Capaci massacre, depicts the man's attempt to free himself from the mafia's grip, wrapped in a deadly embrace. His works, exhibited around the world, are bound to gain even more prestige and reinforce the significance of his work, a centerpiece of contemporary Italian art.
