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 research into space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the 16th century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. In the artistic production of Corrado Zanzotto, landscape often takes center stage: in his views, the human presence, when present, is always minimal. Zanzotto thus uses landscape as a starting point and a subject of research to develop his strongly expressionist language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe work is a clear example of an expressionist landscape. Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with an almost brutal exercise in reduction. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no concessions to spatial depth. The brushstrokes delineate the forms in a highly abstract manner, almost through pure chromatic zones. Color is used according to an emotional and spiritual interpretation, almost transcending reality. Delving even further into detail, we can see how Corrado Zanzotto depicts the cultivated countryside with a series of almost gestural, vertical pictorial marks. The transparencies of the diluted paint, typical of watercolor, create a harmonious interplay of chromatic zones. The small figure at the center of the scene, almost lost in contemplation of the landscape, can be considered a true key to understanding a purely existential conception of landscape painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eCorrado Zanzotto (Pieve di Soligo, 1903 – Pistoia, 1980) was a cousin of the poet Andrea. In 1906, he moved with his family to Pistoia. A Tuscan by adoption, Corrado Zanzotto rightfully belongs to the Pistoia school between the two world wars, having shared, along with Marino Marini, Mariotti, Agostini, Bugiani, and Cappellini, the teachings of Fabio Casanova first and then those of Giovanni Michelucci. Along with them, he exhibited at various provincial and regional exhibitions in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, but he distinguished himself from them. He shared with the rest of the Pistoia Cenacolo the study of the great Tuscan masters of the 14th and 15th centuries, but he developed a different artistic path, a path that from 1930 onwards was directed towards the plastic arts and characterised by an almost brutal expressionism which was always his way of interpreting reality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scibilia Benedetta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217986924930,"sku":"BSCI001","price":900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_6631.jpg?v=1768469997","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/corrado-zanzotto-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
