Franca Cassone - Flamenco

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. The iconographic themes dear to the painter Franca Cassone tend to be genre scenes, in which the artist constantly searches for a lyrical feeling, in keeping with her work as a poet. For this reason, her favorite subjects are female figures, dance scenes, masks, and cinematic references.

The lyricism and poetic feeling that Franca Cassone seeks in her choice of subjects is also reflected in the form she gives to her works. The artist succeeds fully in this by conforming her pictorial language to a naturalism that, for all intents and purposes, we can define as lyrical. Indeed, Franca Cassone begins with a perfectly naturalistic rendering of her subjects, which are described with great care and narrative vivacity. But it is above all with color that the painter succeeds in instilling a great freshness of execution in her paintings. Her palette is distinguished by the choice of bright, luminous hues, and her brushstrokes are extremely lively and dynamic. The figures are constructed entirely through color, with a touch that could at times be described as impressionistic.

Franca Cassone, painter, poet, and actress, has dedicated her entire life to art. In her paintings, she constantly searches for beauty, expressing a lyrical sentiment that encompasses both her choice of subject matter and her stylistic form.
