Multiple in felt: cloth and collage on canvas - Signed, dated and numbered on the back

Untitled (Collage) by Piero Dorazio, created in 1974, is a vibrant felt and cloth collage on canvas. The artwork showcases horizontal and angled strips in a spectrum of bright colors—orange, green, blue, red, yellow, and more—set against white and cream-colored backgrounds. The composition's irregular, torn-like shapes evoke a sense of movement and rhythm, typical of Dorazio's geometric abstraction. The interplay of colors and forms creates a dynamic yet harmonious visual experience, with each felt piece bringing texture and depth to the overall composition. This collage measures 74 x 116 cm, and is part of a limited edition of 40, signed, dated, and numbered on the back. Dorazio’s skillful use of bold colors and abstract forms is evident in this work, capturing the energy and spontaneity characteristic of his artistic style.

Piero Dorazio (Italy, 1927–2005) was a painter and theorist associated with post-war abstraction and the development of European geometric art. Known for his vibrant, dynamic compositions of intersecting lines and radiant colors, Dorazio explored light and spatial relationships. His work contributed significantly to the international abstract art movement.

Piero Dorazio

Collage di Triangoli, 1991

Limited Edition Print

Piero Dorazio (b. 1927 Italy, d. 2005 Italy) was a prominent Italian artist celebrated for his contributions to abstract painting and his exploration of color and form. A founding member of the influential Italian art group Forma 1, Dorazio sought to promote abstract art in post-war Italy, drawing inspiration from Futurism, Constructivism, and international avant-garde movements. His work is characterized by vibrant, intersecting lines and luminous color fields that create dynamic and rhythmic compositions, conveying a sense of movement and optical vibration. Throughout his career, Dorazio remained committed to the expressive potential of pure color and geometric abstraction, believing in the spiritual and transformative power of art. He exhibited extensively across Europe and the United States, and his work has had a lasting impact on the development of abstract art in the 20th century. (Artist website)

What is constructivism?

Constructivism is an architectural and artistic philosophy of Russian origin that emerged as a rejection of the idea of autonomous art. The movement advocated for art to serve practical social purposes. Since its inception in 1919, Constructivism has evolved and significantly impacted 20th-century art movements, influencing major trends such as De Stijl and Bauhaus.
