Salvo, Italian, 1947 to 2015, oil painting on canvas, Primavera, Spring. Signed and titled in Italian, on the backside. Salvatore Mangione, known as Salvo, was an Italian artist who lived and worked in Turin. Turin became Salvos artistic home after his family moved there in 1956. He began with portraits and landscapes, then joined the burgeoning Arte Povera movement. This period saw him collaborate with prominent artists. Salvos work then shifted towards conceptual art, using marble inscriptions to explore self, history, and identity. In a surprising turn, he returned to traditional painting in the 1970s. This prolific period involved a unique dialogue with Old Masters, where he integrated self-portraiture with historical commentary. Modern Italian Fine Art, Landscape Paintings, Wall Art, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork.
