Angiolino Braga - Dismay

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. The artist Angiolino Braga drew inspiration primarily from popular genre scenes.

In Angiolino Braga's artistic production, the perception of the world becomes a pure aesthetic pleasure. Reality is synthesized and altered in favor of geometric composition and linear rhythms. Everything is resolved in a decomposition of space according to multiple directives, into which the regular forms of houses or human figures are inserted. Phenomenal reality is reduced to the bare minimum, exalting the plastic qualities of objects within a rationalist vision, which, however, is not as rigorous as it might seem. Indeed, we always notice a vibrant expressionist streak, especially in the distribution of color, made up of compact fields and bright, almost electric hues.

Angiolino Braga is the protagonist of a highly interesting pictorial production. In his paintings, landscapes and genre scenes are reworked in an original and aesthetically evocative pop and rationalist vein.
