Item Overview

Description

ADOLFO MAGRINI (1874-1957) MOSTRA DELLE BONAFICHE. 1910.
51x38 inches. Chappuis, Bologna.
Condition B+ vertical and horizontal folds; creases in image.
Magrini was a versatile artist, who worked in areas of theatrical design, architecture and literature. Primarily an illustrator, he is known to have designed only six posters all "highly symbolic and with excellent pictorial quality" (Bolaffi p. 128). This image for an agricultural and industrial exhibition in Ferrara, is certainly loaded with imagery. The two allegorical women on either side of the industrial skyline are not only scantily clad, but also surrounded by abundant produce and intertwined with a snake drinking from a chalice. Bolaffi p. 128.
