Lot Details
Period DeSimone of Italy Square Decorative Platter. A good early example fully signed to the rear. Measuring 254mm square by 35mm high. Giovanni DeSimone was born in 1930 in Palermo, Italy (Sicily) to a pair of Italian aristocrats. As a young child he travelled to Somalia, and his experiences there clearly stuck with him and inspired his life’s work, which demonstrates an appreciation of primitivism and the cubist movement that was popularized by Picasso, Matisse and Gauguin in the early 1900s.
