Black Tie Party 1953

"Black Tie Party" (1953) by Pietro Lazzari is a gestural ink drawing depicting a group of figures. The work is characterized by a dynamic composition with a free-flowing style reminiscent of Expressionism, a style known for its emphasis on emotional expression through bold brushstrokes and a non-representational style. The artist captures a sense of movement and energy in the figures, which are rendered with an emphasis on their outlines, creating a sense of immediacy and spontaneity. Lazzari, an Italian artist born in 1895, explored themes of social interaction and human relationships through his art. His work, often executed in black and white, is known for its evocative quality and emotional depth.
