O.Rosai 1914
In his formative years, Rosai was fascinated by French painting and artists such as Courbet, Daumier, Cézanne and especially Corot, from whom he drew inspiration in the works exhibited in his first solo show, in 1913. In the same year, however, he met Ardengo Soffici and approached the Futurist movement, a brief phase of which he shared with works such as Natura morta: il banco del falegname, of 1914, inspired by the collage technique, with its abundant use of fragments and scraps of printed paper.
