Bice Lazzari, a Venetian painter for Florence. From 1964, the artist produced the graphite monochrome works for which she is most often recognized. One of the most original artists of her generation, Lazzari (1900–1981) was a leader of post-war art in Italy. This oil-and-pencil-on-canvas work is currently under consideration for permanent display at the museum. She gifted the work to Florence in 1967. It is representative of the later stages of her career, when she had already consolidated her position as a major figure in Italian art. It was restored in 2016 and exhibited at the ”Beyond Borders” exhibition at Florence’s Twentieth-century Museum in the ‘Italian Artists’ section. It is under consideration for permanent display at the museum. When contemplating this painting, keep in mind journalist Rachel Spence’s description of Lazzari’s works which she calls a series of “mute sounds and metaphysical vibrations”. Restored in 2016, by AWA.
