Augusto Radice - Untitled

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

Augusto Radice's works are distinguished by their exquisitely realist character. From the very subjects he chooses, his paintings speak to us of simple existences, tied to country life. These are scenes where everything is simple and human presence is limited, and when they appear, they are engaged in simple daily activities. Augusto Radice's desire for realism also extends to the nature of his painting. His style tends toward impressionism, aiming to convey restless atmospheric and luminous vibrations to his subjects. The brushstrokes, therefore, are vibrant and complex, with a hatching that always conveys great freshness and immediacy to his subjects. Augusto Radice's palette favors muted colors, far from excess.

Artist Augusto Radice was born in 1913. Radice stands out for his realist approach to painting, which he integrates with an immediate, impressionistic rendering of sensory detail. During his formative years, he was undoubtedly influenced by 19th-century impressionist and realist painting and by artists such as Giuseppe De Nittis.
