MARCELLO DUDOVICH (1878-1962) GRADO. 1933.
38 3/4x23 7/8 inches. R. Questura, Milan.
Condition B+: restored bottom margin; overpainting in right margin; minor repaired tears along sharp vertical and horizontal folds.
An elegant and graceful image of a woman either preparing her hair before diving into the city's famous lagoon, or merely relishng her day in this Northern Italian port city. As an indication of the strength and longevity of this image, it is used on the official Grado tourist web site. Dudovich is one of the great Italian poster artists whose impeccable style changed with the prevailing fashions, as his Art Nouveau images are of the highest Italian Liberty Style, and his Art Deco images are also exceptional. Italia p. 99.
