{"product_id":"gino-spalmach-paesaggio-2","title":"Gino Spalmach - Landscape","description":"\u003cp\u003e Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this work, artist Gino Spalmach creates a landscape that can be described as fully expressionist. Phenomenal reality undergoes a remarkable formal synthesis, and the landscape is represented as a collection of chromatic zones. The composition is constructed from a design of sinuous lines, which establish a dynamic rhythm. But above all, it is the choice of color that determines the expressionism of this painting. The bright, almost aggressive hues do not reflect natural truth, but rather communicate an emotional state, a spiritual state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGino Spalmach (Rome 1900 – 1966). Upon his father's death in 1916, he moved to Modena, where he attended the Institute of Fine Arts. After Caporetto, he volunteered and went to the front. Discharged in 1921, he returned to Rome, where he spent his days visiting museums. He rented a space to use as a studio. He entered the Royal Prize of the Accademia di San Luca, coming in first place ex aequo. In 1924, he entered the Royal Prize of the Accademia di San Luca again, winning with his painting \"Last Farewell.\" In October 1940, he was called up for military service and assigned to the General Command of the Italian troops in Albania, with the rank of lieutenant, tasked with portraying war scenes. His works from the front were published in newspapers and purchased by public bodies. During those years, he held his first solo exhibitions. After September 8, 1943, he was recalled and invited to join a regiment stationed in Mestre. But he escaped and took refuge in Mentana, organizing with other soldiers to resist the Germans. Following a tip-off, he was put on a train bound for Germany. Gino Spalmach arrived at the international concentration camp of Moosburg, near Munich, under the control of the International Red Cross. Thanks to an inmate who gave him paper and pastels, he began working again. Gino Spalmach devoted much of his time to studies and sketches of daily life in the camp and was even commissioned to paint something on the walls of a small chapel set up in a barracks. Finally, on August 17, 1945, Gino Spalmach left for Italy by truck and arrived in Rome on August 27. He resumed work in his studio on Via Margutta. The works he created during his time in prison were very successful, and he exhibited in several galleries. He also participated in the 6th, 7th, and 9th Rome Quadrennials.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicastro Gabriele Giovanni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218290127234,"sku":"GNIC002","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/paesaggio-scaled.jpg?v=1768472521","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/gino-spalmach-paesaggio-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
