{"product_id":"franco-azzinari-vaso-di-fiori","title":"Franco Azzinari - Vase of Flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe refined technique of painter Franco Azzinari is designed to depict the vegetation of his native Calabria, blown by the wind. This way, he demonstrates his high pictorial and graphic skills, expressed through a complex, almost pointillist style that seeks out every single blade of grass, leaf, or petal, each with its own luminous vibration. His compositions are often organized in horizontal bands of color, demonstrating a keen sense of balance and harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFranco Azzinari was born in San Demetrio Corone in 1949 and lives and works in Altomare, also in the province of Cosenza. A trip to Paris, during which he was fascinated by the Impressionists, was crucial to his artistic development. He later opened a studio in Lerici and began depicting Ligurian landscapes. In 1974, he held his first solo exhibition and opened a studio in Milan. Since 1977, he has traveled to the Orient, the United States, Brazil, the Seychelles, and Cuba, where he painted a portrait of Fidel Castro.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cargnelutti Celio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218566558082,"sku":"CCAR003","price":600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/vaso_04572ec7-9da2-42ee-8ed4-a94b9226260a.jpg?v=1768474370","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/franco-azzinari-vaso-di-fiori","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
