Pushkin's Fairy Tales Princess - Fantasy Art - Art Nouveau

Creator: Gianni Benvenuti
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Italian Illustrator Gianni Benvenuti depicts Pushkin's Fairy Tales Princess in a winter landscape of stylized trees with exaggerated curves and twisting branches. The princess is deftly rendered and clocked in a complex costume with art nouveau vitality. The artist’s blending of the abstract and representational emphasizes a sense of fantasy that one finds in a Fairy Tale. An overall ideal harmony of expressive shapes characterizes the painting and engages the viewer to study it endlessly.
Not signed but the label on verso bears the artist's name indicated.
