{"product_id":"cau-tore-senza-titolo","title":"Tore Cau - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003e Social themes in art began to gain prominence in the mid-19th century, coinciding with the spread of social questions throughout European societies. The work of painters such as Millet and Daumier, for example, favored subjects related to life in the fields, factory work, or strikes. In Italy, among the first painters to engage deeply with social themes were Pellizza da Volpedo and, in the contemporary era, Renato Guttuso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn his work, painter Tore Cau focuses primarily on humble people from working-class backgrounds. His poetics are thus tied to the harshness of work and difficult living conditions. This harshness is translated into a pictorial style closely tied to Expressionism, characterized by deliberately rough-hewn figures and overly expressive features. The representation is synthetic, but this does not prevent the artist from depicting his workers as voluminous, concrete, plastic masses. The compositional idea of ​​this painting is particularly beautiful and interesting, with the highly expressive portrait of the worker in the foreground standing out against the darkness. The background of the work is dominated by the firelight, rendered in vibrant paint. It illuminates the other figures with sulfurous reflections, creating a truly evocative spatial construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eTore Cau was born in Sassari in 1937 and passed away in 1989. He trained under Spada, Figari, and Dessy. He attracted the attention of critics and the public thanks to his participation in numerous events and exhibitions. He received several awards, and his work was widely covered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antinori Stefania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217870369154,"sku":"SANT001","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/CAU-TORE-copia.jpg?v=1768468953","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/cau-tore-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
