Ettore Berrone - Untitled - ABIG001

The "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.

In his still lifes, artist Ettore Berrone stands out for his calligraphic style, which adheres closely to the sensory. Indeed, his paintings are extraordinary examples of realistic rendering, faithfully depicting the subject matter. What's exceptional is that this lifelike representation is executed almost with the tip of a brush, with a complex application of splashes of color and subtle touches. However, despite his meticulous descriptive rendering, Berrone cannot help but infuse a certain expressionism into the representation. Thus, the pictorial layering remains vibrant, and despite the absolute realism of the objects, they exhibit a certain disintegration of form that makes them alive and vibrant with existence.

Ettore Berrone was a painter born in Conzano Monferrato in 1897 and died in Courmayeur in 1986. An artist with a solid academic background, his career is distinguished by a remarkable production of still lifes and landscapes. Ettore Berrone's artistic language, faithful to a realistic rendering of the subject, is characterized by a complex, lively, and vibrant approach.
