Ernesto Treccani - Untitled

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

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 represented (be it a portrait, a view, a still life) with which Treccani seeks to connect, eliminating any formal frills and leaving only an elegant trace to identify the figure. This trace consists of a sinuous line that constructs the image in a nervous and lively manner. This is combined with color distributed in light and 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.
