Il Tango e altre statuette: costumi e quotidianità del primo Novecento nelle opere di Edgardo Simone.

Abstract

The production of art works by Edgardo Simone (1890-1948), between Italy and the United States, and the iconographic choice dedicated to habits and costums. The sculptor made statuettes in terracotta or bronze that represented children, men and women in a veristic style. His sketches, from the 1910's to the 1940's, gives us back an inspiring overview of ways and roles of Italian and American society, for example: the happy soldier, the Neapolitan coachman, the woman is having the hair bobbed, the bellhop, little rascals. the colored young boxer, girl doing waterskiing.
