{"product_id":"edoardo-arvigo-natura-morta","title":"Edoardo Arvigo - Still Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"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.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e \nLooking at works like this, it's clear that Edoardo Arvigo, in his execution of the \"Still Life\" genre, pays particular attention to one of the leading masters in this field, Giorgio Morandi. He therefore engages in a profound process of reflection on objects in order to capture their most vivid image. In this process, the painter is aided by the light that bathes the composition, leading the artist to implement a process of reducing the objects until their true essence remains. What remains is an almost diaphanous yet extremely alive and dynamic image, shaken by genuine existential (as well as luminous) vibrations. Another fundamental element, also common to Morandi's still lifes, is obviously the formal perfection and balance of the composition, which hark back to the great tradition of Italian painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eEdoardo Arvigo, Genoa 1917 - 1983.
