The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete 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 materials with which they compose their works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eWhile the final result of Ennio Morlotti's landscape works can be effectively described as Informal, we are faced with a painter closely tied to the tangible. Indeed, Morlotti's starting point in developing his paintings is Nature itself. The artist focuses on the study of plants and flowers, honing in on specific details in the execution of the work with the intent of translating their true essence to the canvas. This approach by Morlotti has earned him a place among the leading exponents of what Francesco Arcangeli called \"Last Naturalism,\" referring to a group of painters who macroscopically enlarged plant elements, thus achieving Informalism. Ennio Morlotti elaborates on this influence through his excitable gestures, which draw on Abstract Expressionism. Indeed, gestural brushstrokes and the paint itself become the primary expressive media for conveying the artist's sensitivity and perception of Nature to his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eEnnio Morlotti (Lecco 1910-Milan 1992). In 1937, during a brief stay in Paris, he encountered Cézanne, Fauvism, and the expressionism of Soutine and Georges Rouault. At the Paris International Exhibition, he was deeply impressed by Picasso and his Guernica. Upon returning to Italy, he moved to Milan and enrolled at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. He then painted his first works. In 1939, he joined the group of painters of the magazine Corrente with Ernesto Treccani, Renato Guttuso, Renato Birolli, and Bruno Cassinari. After a second stay in Paris in 1947, he participated in the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti and, after the split between Cassinari and Birolli, joined Lionello Venturi's Gruppo degli Otto, founded in 1952 and dissolved in 1954. Representative of a sort of informal and lyrical naturalism, his favorite subjects are landscapes, still lifes, and nudes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sburlati Antonio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218251231618,"sku":"ASBU009","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/01-2.jpg?v=1768472197","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ennio-morlotti-senza-titolo-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
