Title:	Constructions
Artist:	Radice, Mario (Como, 1900 - Milan, 1987)
Date:	1955
Medium:	Original Silk-Screen
Note:	Mario Radice: One of Italy's most famous artists of the mid twentieth century, Mario Radice was equally accomplished as a painter, silk-screen artist and as an architectural designer. Amazingly, Radice was almost entirely self-taught. He first exhibited his work in Rome, Milan and Venice in 1930. Not the least of his accomplishments is that he was one of the first promoters of pure abstract art in Italy.
	At the end of the Second World War (1945), Mario Radice's art came to the attention of the international community. Exhibitions of his paintings and silk-screens were held in France, Germany, Scandinavia and in the United States. Many Museums throughout Italy and elsewhere now include examples of his art in their permanent collections.
	Constructions is typical of Mario Radice's famous abstract art. His handling of the relationships between form and colour in space is exceptional. This is a brilliant image from the best years of his career.
	This original silk-screen was commissioned for a 1955 artist's portfolio entitled, "Arte Astratta Italiana". Altogether twelve Italian artists contributed a silk-screen. These included Giacomo Balla and Gino Severini, as well as younger artists such as Mario Radice, Achille Perilli, Bruno Munari and Michelangelo Conte.
