More about Giacinto Bosco
Giacinto Bosco is one of the leading and renowned figurative sculptors in Italy, among those who pursue the 20th century great classical tradition.
His sculptures, in which the solidity of bronze is put at the service of the lightness of the feeling of love, often depict lovers who yearn for the moon, keeping it lassoed, who seem to hover while swinging on swings hanging from the sky, or trying balance exercises by holding themselves up on chairs and stairs, climbing ropes
His are "small amorous idylls", as Vittorio Sgarbi wrote, "where the mysterious medium of emotions is resolved in an enchanting plastic language", as pointed out by Paolo Levi, figures as elementary as they are poignant, from which the solemnity of ancient and primary feelings shines through; the most present is that of human amazement in front of the nocturnal star, which, among many, was sung by poets such as Ariosto, Leopardi and Borges and which inspired musicians such as Beethoven and Debussy, just to name a few, whose works in turn are cultural and traditional models for Bosco himself.
