Benito Lazzari - Billiards

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 Benito Lazzari drew inspiration primarily from popular genre scenes.

The language of artist Benito Lazzari is clearly and profoundly expressionist. The subject, in its transposition of reality, undergoes a highly advanced process of synthesis that reduces forms to their purest essence. All contingencies are eliminated, and everything is crushed onto a two-dimensional surface in a powerfully primordial representation. The linework is thick and deliberately rough, and the figures are rough-hewn with a fluid rhythm. In Lazzari's compositions, everything seems alive in a fluid, trembling dimension. What shakes the subjects are existential vibrations, in the most typical expressionist tradition.

Benito Lazzari is a fundamentally expressionist artist who has mainly dealt with popular themes
