Ernesto Treccani - Lovers No. 1

The work has a marked expressionist vocation, which tends to emphasize the expression of emotions. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion. Formally, this translates into a summary rendering of the figures, through a very nervous and animated line, as well as the use of a violent color palette. These characteristics are found in the historical avant-garde movements of expressionism: Fauvism and the Die Brucke movement in Germany.

Ernesto Treccani's artistic language tends to minimize phenomenal reality, but this exercise in reducing sensory data helps the artist go beyond the appearance of things and capture their true essence. What remains is the spiritual and emotional concentration of the subject, which Treccani seeks to connect with, eliminating any formal frills and leaving only an elegant trace to identify the subject. This trace consists of a sinuous line that constructs the image in a nervous and lively manner. This is complemented by color distributed in light, balanced patches.

Ernesto Treccani, a Milanese artist born in 1920 and passed away in 2009, founded the magazine Corrente, which brought together a group of artists including Birolli, Guttuso, Migneco, Sassu, and, later, Cassinari and Morlotti. His first solo exhibition was in 1949. In 1978, he created the Corrente Foundation, a center for studies and cultural initiatives, and especially for archiving documents relating to the Realism movement.
