Agostino Cancogni - Dried Flowers

Flowers as an independent subject began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers were depicted not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also became a way of interpreting reality.

The artist who created this vase of flowers uses a highly elaborate language. He begins, first and foremost, by synthesizing the subject, which he achieves through simplification and the elimination of plasticity with an elegant system of thin lines. The vibrant colors of the foliage are rendered by the painter through effervescent spray effects that enliven the representation.

Agostino Cancogni was born in Forte dei Marmi in 1950. He graduated from the Art School and then attended the Academy of Sculpture. His first exhibition was in 1970 at the Galleria Orlando in Forte dei Marmi. He has held numerous solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad, participated in art fairs, and appeared on major television programs. His works are held in collections in Italy and abroad.
