Silvana Mangano (detail)

The artist jucci Ugolotti participates in this edition of the Biennale di Venezia with a series of sculptures, shaped in the spirit of the exhibition held in the Pavilion Guatemala. The artist, in fact, has made for the occasion of the busts painted terracotta, depicting some of the people linked to the film "Death in Venice" (1971).
Depicted in the photograph we see the bust of actress Silvia Mangano, who in the film plays the mother of Tadzio. Mangano is portrayed with sumptuous costumes and with the massive cap, partially hiding and wavy brown hair. The artist sculpts, thanks to his skills, a work with strong vibrations luministic, managing to give your subject the suit lessness and the intensity of look that sets it apart. In the exhibition, the bust of Ugolotti finds correspondence in the artist Paolo Schmidlin, depicting always Silvia Mangano, however, portrayed with the costumes of another film in which she starred. The differences between the two busts affect the color texture and the writing material, thicker and chiaroscuro work of jucci Ugolotti.
