Disorder in a Classic Body, 1981 (acrylic on canvas)

Disorder in a Classic Body (Disordine in un corpo classico), by Emilio Tadini, 1981, 20th Century, acrylic on canvas, 200 x 150 cm Whole artwork view. One of the canvas of Emilio Tadini's Disorder in a Classic Body series: the canvas portrays human figures with stylized features, just like they were dummies; fragments of the body, among which heads, busts and arms, are scattered everywhere; they symbolize archaeological relics disposed in a casual way, and represents the recall to the classics; a red rectangle and a yellow vase stand out against the blue, which is the dominant colour Emilio Tadini (2002) Venice Biennale - 1982
