Gouache on paper, framed, featuring an abstract artwork. Signed and attr. Carla Accardi (Italian, 1924-2014), on the lower right corner. 8.1 x 11.8 in. (20.5 x 30 cm). Carla Accardi rose to fame as founding member of the 1947 Italian avant-garde movement Forma 1, a group of artists based in Rome who, in the face of Fascism, embraced the principals of Futurism and Marxism. As one of the key figures of abstract art in Italy during the time, Accardi developed an iconic visual lexicon of calligraphic marks that, when combined with her minimalist color palette and dynamic compositions, showcased the endless possibilities of abstraction.
