Pencil on paper. Signed on the back. The drawing is registered at the Fausto Melotti Archive, with code DIS 72006. Fausto Melotti was a multifaceted and highly prolific artist, and it is almost impossible to tie his production to a particular technique or theme without providing only a partial view of his artistic vision. The salient characteristics that are constant in Melotti are geometricism, the study of abstraction, which leads him to use realistic but not scientifically accurate elements, and arranging the elements in a way that recalls a musical rhythm, a particular that refers to his training as a musician. Sculptor, painter, musician, poet, he created numerous design drawings for his works. Drawing represented a fundamental exercise for him, to transfer the original graphic trait from sheets of paper into sculptures and ceramics. The sculptures for which he is best known consist of geometric elements made with metals (brass, iron and gold) worked into thin filaments, giving life to ethereal, weightless and almost fragile compositions. The work is presented in a frame.
