Caricature of Carlo Scarpa. Asol, 1971. Crete hand-modeled and colored. Signed with engraved monogram and dated "XII 71" underneath the base. (13.5x10x10 cm.)

"The clay sculpture (13.5x10x10 cm) was modeled by the painter and designer Massimo Scolari (1943) in December 1971, on the occasion of an interview with the renowned architect Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) at his studio in Asolo (Treviso). This interview served for the first biography of Carlo Scarpa, the Venetian architect, published in the magazine 'Controspazio,' issue 3-4, March-April 1972, pp. 2-85. The idea arose from the inspiration of a terracotta portrait of Scarpa created by his friend the sculptor Arturo Martini. Here, with deliberate caricature, the aspect of a pencil holder is highlighted because Scarpa's almost maniacal behavior, often declared by the master himself, was well-known: 'sharpening the pencil' was like the initiation act into the project and the profession of an architect. The privately-owned work was exhibited for the first time alongside other drawings in the exhibition 'Carlo Scarpa after Carlo Scarpa' at the University of Architecture in Venice, June 14 - September 30, 2016."
