Emilio Scanavino, a painter and sculptor originally from Genoa, after a figurative beginning, gave his painting post-cubist characteristics, with the forms becoming progressively stylized until they dissolved completely in the early 50s.
In '54 the stylized knot began to appear in his canvases, which became his characteristic sign, characterizing all his subsequent production.
In the production of the 70s, to which the work presented here belongs, the "knot" becomes perfectly delineated and recognisable, expressed in disturbing shapes, sometimes threatening and stained with blood red.
The work is presented in a frame.
