Gino Paolo Gori - At the stable

The work 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 Impressionists, in particular, favored subjects related to modern life in urban and bourgeois settings, while in Italy, movements such as the Divisionists and the Macchiaioli focused on themes related to work and life in the fields. Tuscan Gino Paolo Gori drew closely from this tradition, especially that of the Macchiaioli, in his paintings, which primarily featured scenes of rural life.

Not only in his choice of subject, but also in his pictorial language, Gino Paolo Gori draws on the Tuscan Macchiaioli tradition. He uses a brushstroke that defines his subjects in an extremely summary yet vibrant and profoundly expressive manner. It's a type of representation that harks back to Neo-Impressionist artistic practice. Indeed, specifically, in developing this work, Gori seems to consciously reference the Macchiaioli, drawing on the sense of peasant solitude typical of the Tuscan group. A certain difference, however, can be noted in his chromatic choices. Gori's palette appears more expressionist, composed of vivid colors that distance themselves from the earthy tones of the Macchiaioli.

Gino Paolo Gori (Florence, 1911 – 1991). He began painting at a very young age, and one of his works was soon noticed by Beppe Ciardi, who wanted to get to know the young painter and encouraged him to continue along that path, sensing his great potential. His first solo exhibition was in 1932, at the Società Belle Arti in Florence. In 1935, with his second solo exhibition at the Galleria Firenze, he was recognized as a painter, not only by the public but also by critics, who began to follow his work assiduously. From the postwar years, his rise was constant, so much so that he became a "fashionable" painter. His painting can be placed in the Neo-Impressionist vein, and some have compared him to an Italian Renoir. In the 1950s, he spent many days in Paris, but his artistic career also took him frequently to Spain, Greece, Morocco, Turkey, Egypt, and Russia. His most famous subjects are horses, Florentine carriages and donkeys (the famous "ciuchini").
