Where it came from
Published in 1979 by De Luca, this volume serves as a retrospective monograph dedicated to the life and work of Leoncillo Leonardi, one of the most significant Italian ceramic sculptors of the 20th century. Produced over a decade after the artist's passing, the book was intended to consolidate his legacy within the context of post-war Italian art, documenting his transition from decorative ceramic traditions toward a more expressive, abstract, and often visceral aesthetic language.
The publication captures Leoncillo's career, highlighting his engagement with the Roman School and his later focus on the sculptural potential of clay through textured, monochromatic works. It offers a critical perspective on his influence in bridging the gap between traditional craft and modernism, aiming to categorize the evolution of his style from the 1930s through his final years. The book is widely regarded by scholars as a foundational resource for understanding the technical and thematic shift in Italian sculpture during the period.
