Giuseppe Succi - Untitled

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

Among the various stylistic registers adopted by Giuseppe Succi is a series of works in which the artist seeks to represent reality transfigured into the fleeting dimension of time and memory. As a result, objects almost lose their physical consistency, and the perceptible element is reduced to a few synthetic traces. Everything, both the subjects and the space, is composed of an ethereal and elusive substance, without a true form on a two-dimensional surface. The subjects are constructed from an uncertain outline and a few flickering brush strokes. Within, the very substance of the objects blends with the landscape in the background, becoming one with the space. The latter, in turn, is achieved through light brushstrokes, almost transparent in the fleeting essence of reality transfigured into memory. Even the chromatic palette, based on a palette of grays, expresses a sense of insubstantiality and ineffability.

Giuseppe Succi was born in Bagnacavallo in 1914. His artistic output encompasses still lifes, floral compositions, magical landscapes, and the recurring subject of Pulcinellas performing circus acts. In all cases, his art is imbued with a subtle magic that shifts representation to the realm of unreality.
