Antonio De Muro - Untitled

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The work is a clear example of an Expressionist landscape. Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with an almost brutal reduction. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no allowance for spatial depth. In this painting, Antonio De Muro interprets reality very schematically, breaking down his perception of the landscape into a series of distinct shapes and chromatic zones. Color itself is used according to an emotional and spiritual interpretation, without any connection to reality. Even the pictorial layering is in line with an Expressionist poetics, appearing dense and material, charged with vibrations. In this way, the entire representation of reality is resolved in a powerfully Expressionist and abstract vision, where the elements that stand out are the painter's sense of form and balance within the overall composition.

Antonio De Muro was born in Taranto in 1924 and lives and works in Milan. His initial training, however, took place in Venice, where, in 1946, he met Filippo De Pisis, who encouraged him to pursue a career in painting. He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in cities such as Palermo, Milan, Livorno, Florence, Rome, Verona, Genoa, Como, and Turin. In Como, he founded the La Caravella art gallery.
