Item Details
Description
Self-portrait with owl and donkey
50s ca.
Marker on paper
62 x 86 cm ca.
A beautiful, large drawing by Carlo Levi dated around the 1950s with a self-portrait in the centre. The owl on the right is present in many drawings and paintings of the period and represents the painter himself, both in terms of its physiognomy and also because of symbolic and esoteric meanings linked to Jewish culture. In Palazzo Altieri, where the painter was living at the time, Levi owned an owl called Graziadio. A donkey is also depicted in the artwork, an evocative presence of Lucania between exile and return after the war.Signed lower right: Levi, on the back stamp by Galleria Campaiola in Rome
Good conditions, framed with glass and passepartout
