DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK We offer at auction "Il gioco degli occhi" (The Game of the Eyes), a vibrant and rhythmic work created in 2012 by the Venetian master Ennio Finzi, recently deceased and regarded as one of the last great protagonists of Italian postwar Abstract Expressionism and Spatialism. This cardboard work is part of a fortunate, sought-after late-career cycle in which Finzi condensed his many-decade investigation into visual and chromatic perception. Through a layered mixed technique combining acrylic markers, oil pastels, and material applications with collage, the artist creates a dynamic optical “game.” Geometric shapes, jagged lines, and vivid fields of color chase across the surface with a musicality and rhythm reminiscent of the fascinating dissonances and timbral variations so dear to him. It is a refined piece, perfect for collectors who wish to add to their collection a work that is extensively documented and representative of the maturity of a Master who traversed and profoundly marked the history of 20th-century art. BIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL NOTES ON THE ARTIST Ennio Finzi (Venice, 1931 – Mestre, 2024) was one of the leading interpreters of Abstract Expressionism and Critical Painting in Italy. Since the 1950s he was a prominent figure of the Venetian avant-garde, exhibiting at the historic Cavallino Gallery of Carlo Cardazzo and befriending figures such as Tancredi Parmeggiani and Peggy Guggenheim, who took an interest in his work from the beginning. Although often associated with Lucio Fontana’s Spatialism (a movement with which he shared the tension to transcend traditional boundaries of the painting), Finzi always maintained an autonomous position, describing himself as a “pathological abstract artist” and an indefatigable researcher. His painting is intimately linked to music (in particular Schönberg’s atonality): for Finzi color has a strong sonic value, capable of creating luminous vibrations and optical-dynamic expansions. Over the years he developed famous painted cycles exploring chromatic scales, reflections on light (through strict black-and-white works and the optical-kinetic investigations of the 1970s) before returning to an explosive and contrasting chromaticism in later decades. He participated in highly prestigious exhibitions, including the Rome Quadriennale (1959 and 1999) and the Venice Art Biennale (1986). Passed away in June 2024 at the age of 93, his work remains a fundamental pillar for understanding the evolutions of Italian abstract art, extensively documented and present in important public and private collections.
