SALVATORE MELI (Comiso 1932 - Roma 2011) Bozzetto per pannello, 1957 Acquerello e matita su carta, cm. 70 x 88 Firma e data in basso a destra In cornice Tra i più significativi scultori ceramisti italiani, Meli compie il suo apprendistato a Milano, nello studio del pittore Salvatore Fiume. Trasferitosi a Roma ne frequenta l'ambiente artistico e fa amicizia con Giuseppe Capogrossi, Renato Guttuso, Nino Caruso e Leoncillo e diviene assistente di Marino Mazzacurati all’Accademia di Belle Arti. Alla fine degli anni Quaranta inizia ad occuparsi di ceramica e presto la sua opera ottiene ampi riconoscimenti: partecipa alla Triennale d'Arte di Milano del 1951, al Concorso di Pesaro e di Messina del 1952, al Premio Faenza del 1953, dove ottiene il primo premio ex-aequo con Carlo Zauli presentando una coppia di vasi a lucignolo con figure policrome, ancora alle Triennali di Milano del 1954 e del 1957, e alla Biennale di Venezia del 1958. A partire dagli anni tra le due guerre, con uno studio ceramico in proprio a Largo di Villa Massimo realizza sculture in terracotta maiolicata in pezzi unici e maioliche in stile arcaicista spesso utilizzando la tecnica detta a lucignolo. Più tardi trasferirà il suo studio sull’Appia Antica.

Est: £1,200 - £1,800
§ Salvatore Meli (Italian, 1929-2011), a monumental earthenware charger, painted with three stylised figures in black and blue to a white ground, signed 'Meli - Roma' w:56.50 cm Other Notes: Born in 1929 in Ragussa, Sicily, Meli was a significant figure in post-war Italian Design. One of his major influnces was Salvatore Fiume, a sculptor and painter who strongly impacted his style of dynamic and assymetric forms. Most of Meli's works are plates or jugs but his technique of constructing as opposed to throwing his pottery allowed him to create much larger scale items, such as the glazed earthenware table. Meli participated in international exhibitions across Europe, Asia and North America throughout his career, most notably the Milan Triennale and the Venice Bienale. He was named the "enfant terrible of Italian Ceramic art"
