Plastic Linearities and Sinuous Three-Dimensionality<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Active for more than five decades, until the early years of the 21st century, Meldini was a multifaceted personality, heterogeneous in the references from which her gaze moved, as well as in the destinations to which her research often led her. In post-war Italy, approaching anything that leaned towards a recovery of form and plasticity, particularly in a sculptural key, was a challenging endeavor given the prevailing performative post-modernism. Her closeness to two \u201c<em>resistant<\/em>\u201d figures like Guerrisi and Purificato surely helped her in this regard, allowing her to reconstruct a personal \u201creinterpreted plasticity,\u201d where the figurative culture of her time never renounced originality. While deeply attracted to clean and essential forms, such as those of Marino Marini or Henry Moore and Constantin Brancusi \u2013 showing a keen attention to the international scene as well \u2013 she never hesitated to self-denounce being profoundly informed in her style, in the constructive manner of the great bronze and marble reliefs of the Italian Renaissance (Donatello, Laurana to name a few) and, further, to Michelangelo&#8217;s sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"715\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-con-palla-1974-china-e-tratteggio-su-carta-cm-70x100-1-1024x715.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"84653\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/?attachment_id=84653\" class=\"wp-image-84653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-con-palla-1974-china-e-tratteggio-su-carta-cm-70x100-1-1024x715.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-con-palla-1974-china-e-tratteggio-su-carta-cm-70x100-1-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-con-palla-1974-china-e-tratteggio-su-carta-cm-70x100-1-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-con-palla-1974-china-e-tratteggio-su-carta-cm-70x100-1-1536x1072.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-con-palla-1974-china-e-tratteggio-su-carta-cm-70x100-1-2048x1430.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-con-palla-1974-china-e-tratteggio-su-carta-cm-70x100-1-600x419.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Roberta Meldini, Woman with Ball, ink and hatching on paper, 1974<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-al-sole-5-1999-refrattario-cm-25x68x40-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"84654\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-al-sole-5-1999-refrattario-cm-25x68x40-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/?attachment_id=84654\" class=\"wp-image-84654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-al-sole-5-1999-refrattario-cm-25x68x40-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-al-sole-5-1999-refrattario-cm-25x68x40-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-al-sole-5-1999-refrattario-cm-25x68x40-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-al-sole-5-1999-refrattario-cm-25x68x40-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-al-sole-5-1999-refrattario-cm-25x68x40-2048x1155.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Donna-al-sole-5-1999-refrattario-cm-25x68x40-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Roberta Meldini, Woman in the Sun 5, refractory, 1999<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"through-the-eyes-of-the-artist\"><strong>Through the Eyes of the Artist<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A recurring theme among the works on display at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsupp.com\/it\/palazzomerulana\/Info\">Palazzo Merulana<\/a> is \u201cthe praise of life,\u201d in whatever form \u2013 human, animal, or natural \u2013 it manifests. This praise is certainly well highlighted and emphasized by the constant exaltation of an iconographic subject of reference, which is the woman and, more generally, the feminine in all its forms; the woman, through her body, produces life and thus contributes to the course of existence. Her modern round-bodied Afrodites are reclining and idle places of non-action, where the dense volumetric block carries an almost totemic meaning; many new \u201c<em>Venus of Willendorf<\/em>\u201d that assume expressive, formal, psychological, and philosophical meanings. Smooth and clean forms, of pure avant-garde, suddenly ripple slightly, barely noticeable, denoting wrinkles, hair, and facial features. Barely incised surfaces reveal somatic characteristics, giving the idea of movement, which also seem to recall Medardo Rosso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Foto-di-Roberta-Meldini-scattata-nel-1951-presso-l_Accademia-di-Belle-Arti-di-Roma-in-alta-risoluzione-676x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84655\"\/><figcaption>Photo of Roberta Meldini taken in 1951 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Parallel to this vein, there is another one, perhaps stemming from the unfinished Michelangelo, which leads her to express and &#8220;bring out,&#8221; through her painting, a much more narrative, almost expressionist matrix, as seen in her portraits; at other times, she seems more interested in storytelling, in chronicling the events of everyday life, whether they are amusing or melancholic, but always well channeled by the colors of her oils and temperas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The animals, often rendered in sculptural form, are surprising both for the variety and quality of the various production techniques employed, and for the sentiment that emanates from them; almost hyper-realistic, they skillfully blend direct observation of reality and analysis of past bestiaries (greatly influenced by Giambologna), which Meldini often interprets with irony, putting them at the service of narrating the flaws of human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, her graphic production is also remarkable, showcasing her mastery of the techniques related to its realization. Rarely do her drawings appear to be preliminary sketches for something else; instead, they often possess their own artistic dignity. The woman, here too, emerges as a queen, with her massive physicality, her dense and three-dimensional volumes rendered by a quick, thin line, enriched by pure colors. All of this is made even more precious by the limited number of etched zinc plates \u2013 about thirty \u2013 for her etchings, from which each subject was rarely reprinted more than sixty times, with rather limited editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-84656\" data-id=\"84656\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0034-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0034-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0034-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0034-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0034-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0034-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0034-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-84657\" data-id=\"84657\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0044-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0044-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0044-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0044-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0044-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0044-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0044-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-84658\" data-id=\"84658\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0052-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0052-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0052-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0052-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0052-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0052-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0052-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-84659\" data-id=\"84659\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0158-1024x683.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0158-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0158-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0158-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0158-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0158-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.artsupp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC0158-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\"><div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\"><p>Until March 5, 2021, the exhibition Roberta Meldini.
