Sculpture - Pulcinella with guitar - F. Bianconi for Venini - 1950s

Sculpture depicting Pulcinella with guitar, a figure of the Tiepoli series, which was designed by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini and exhibited at the Biennale in 1952. The Tiepoli are lattimo glass figures with small finishings in black glass, which Bianconi had drawn inspired by the Pulcinella of the frescoes by Gian Domenico Tiepolo. These typical figures usually wear the characteristic conical hat, and the black mask with a big nose; they wear twisted-up trousers and a long jacket that can not hide the hump. This model stands out for its upright position with the right leg slightly bent and for the small guitar slung over the shoulder. On the bottom there is the original label "Venini". It has been published in the "Flavio Bianconi at Venini" on page 405.
