cctm collettivo culturale tuttomondo Mario Giansone (Italy)
Mario Giansone (Torino, 1915- Torino, 1997) è stato un artista italiano.
Principalmente scultore, ma anche orafo, pittore, insegnante, teorico attraverso la pietra, il marmo, il bronzo e una innumerevole produzione di quadri, disegni, incisioni e arazzi, affronta i temi che caratterizzano tutta la sua produzione artistica che sono chiaramente individuabili: il jazz, espressione di un formidabile dinamismo che si esplica nel suono come nel ballo; la brutalità della guerra; l’ammirazione per le innovazioni tecnologiche del Novecento; la donna, intesa come espressione di delicato intimismo e di affetti; i gatti, colti con assoluta naturalezza.

Jewelery between sculpture and jazz: in Turin, the work of Mario Giansone in exhibition.
Between jazz and sculpture there is a feeling. And between sculpture and jewelery there is a link. And when the design is by Mario Giansone, an Italian sculptor (1915-1997) that marked the artistic life of the twentieth century, the link is double.
In Turin, at Palazzo Madama from October 5, 2017 to January 29, 2018, on the second floor, in the Atelier Room, an exhibition dedicated to gold jewelry forged by the Piedmont artist was organized. Attention: art, but to wear. They are not sculptures designed to rest in a glass bowl. On the contrary, they are jewels, though unique pieces, designed to be worn by ladies (several, it seems) that Giansone used to meet.
During the course of his life, the artist has carved, painted, painted and made engravings and tapestries with a well-liked style, figurativity and abstraction. He used marble, stone, iron, wood. But also gold.
