{"product_id":"de-gregorio-senza-titolo","title":"Giuseppe De Gregorio - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by the Second World War left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge resulted in a total rejection of any visual language, resulting in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the material with which they compose their works. In particular, the pictorial production of Giuseppe De Gregorio can be ascribed to the so-called Last Naturalism group, which is characterized by an exploration that begins with the elements of nature but materializes in an Informal style of representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs can be seen in this work, Giuseppe De Gregorio's artistic language begins with nature. He isolates a single detail and magnifies it to a macroscopic scale. Thus, he conducts an investigation of nature that delves so deeply that it reveals unknown realities. Formally, this translates into an accentuated biomorphism that completely invades the work, becoming autonomous and losing all connection to phenomenal reality. This leads to the paradox that characterizes the artistic production of Giuseppe De Gregorio and the artists of the Ultimo Naturalismo group: a subject that begins with nature becomes Informal. The technique used by this painter is also very interesting. His brushstrokes, always in line with the poetics of Informalism, are decidedly material, creating cracks on the surface of the work that introduce the randomness of reality directly into the painting. Finally, from the point of view of colour, Giuseppe De Gregorio always tends towards a monochrome tone, in this case with a prevalence of greys and whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGiuseppe De Gregorio was a painter originally from Spoleto, where he was born in 1920 and passed away in 2007. He trained in his hometown with the Gruppo dei Sei, where he began his exploration of informal art in the 1950s, winning several editions of the Spoleto Prize. It was the critic Francesco Arcangeli who brought him national recognition. From the 1970s, De Gregorio began to develop his distinctive style, which began with the depiction of enlarged details of natural elements, while remaining within the framework of an informal aesthetic. All this has established him as one of the most important representatives of Late Naturalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Landi Tonino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215790551426,"sku":"TLAN001","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/eeb07f0a-9381-4855-ae6d-2e2d20000961-copia.jpg?v=1768429148","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/de-gregorio-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
