Gottfried Keller, ritratto 1986

Valerio Adami's 1986 "Gottfried Keller, ritratto" is a portrait of the Swiss writer Gottfried Keller. Known for his bold lines and vibrant colors, Adami's style is characterized by a flat, almost graphic quality. This piece features a simplified representation of Keller, with a blue head and a white lamb, perhaps symbolizing his literary work. The background is a striking turquoise blue, which emphasizes the figure and further enhances the work's visual impact. Adami's work has been described as "Pop Art," reflecting a fascination with mass culture and popular imagery.
