Catalogue Note
Marcello Fantoni è riconosciuto dalla critica come l’artista che riuscì a conciliare uno stile antico, in particolare quello etrusco, a varie linee espressive contemporanee. Questo Vaso del 1956 presenta una composizione dal carattere quasi preistorico, dove le forme angolate e i disegni incisi son interpretati in senso arcaico.
