"Great Goddess" Sculpture – Pietro Melandri
Large majolica sculpture of a standing, nude female figure, with a slender body characterized by simplified volumes and opaque, textured surfaces, enveloped in the lower part by a drape decorated with graphic signs and archaic symbols in cobalt blue on an ochre background.
The small head with an absorbed face and an abstract gaze, and the strong verticalization of the body, reflect a cultured primitivism and give the piece a lyrical metaphysical character.
Faenza, circa 1960.
