{"product_id":"enzo-sozzo-senza-titolo-mbux003","title":"Enzo Sozzo - Untitled - MBUX003","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings. In this view by Enzo Sozzo, the quotidian aspect prevails, the frank and sincere realism of everyday life in a city setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis work highlights the artist Enzo Sozzo's post-Impressionist maturity. The composition is entirely constructed through color, and the brushstrokes have a notable structural value. The painter's aim is not to capture the tangible details of the landscape, but to capture its very essence, its substance. To this end, the brushstrokes, rich in texture, intervene, and, despite the simplicity of the representation, break down the space into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life on the subject. Thus, within a substantially two-dimensional surface, compressed in the foreground, the objects are constructed by the painter with broad, dense brushstrokes. Chromatically, moreover, the entire surface of the work is blended with a unifying palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eEnzo Sozzo was a painter from Lecce, born in 1917 and died in 1993. Engaged in military service and later in the partisan struggle, Sozzo began painting at a young age. In 1954, he enrolled at the Urbino Art Institute, where he graduated, thus fulfilling a lifelong passion for painting that had been nurtured since he was a boy, when he attended the \"Maccagnani\" drawing school in Lecce. His first solo exhibition was held in Lecce in 1961. The ensuing success encouraged Sozzo to increase his production. His painting became his constant and most important commitment. He painted the city he loved, the corners of Lecce, its baroque monuments, its old carriages, its streetlights, its seascapes. This is also why Enzo Sozzo is so beloved by local collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bux Michele","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217903792514,"sku":"MBUX003","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/enzo-sozzo-fronte-copia.jpg?v=1768469325","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/enzo-sozzo-senza-titolo-mbux003","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
