Gustavo Boldrini - Flowers

Flowers 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.

Gustavo Boldrini's style is profoundly expressionist. He begins with a brutal formal synthesis that reduces the subject to the bare minimum of elementary pictorial gestures. Thus, in this work too, we can appreciate how the subject's structure is determined by a broad black line, with a sinuous, curved movement. The color is applied in compact areas. The chromatic tones are aggressive and violent, in the best tradition of the Fauvist-Expressionist movement, and they do not respect natural truth but have a spiritual and emotional significance.

Gustavo Boldrini was born in Venice in 1927 and died in Salsomaggiore Terme in 1987. His works have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions. In 1955, in Paris, he participated in the exhibition of the "VI Salon de la Jeune Peinture" and in the same year in the exhibition of the "XIX Biennale Nazionale d'Arte Città di Milano" at the Palazzo della Permanente. Between 1955 and 1956, in Rome, he participated in the exhibition of the "VII Quadriennale Nazionale d'Arte". In 1956, in Venice, he participated in the exhibition of the "Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte di Venezia". Also worthy of mention are his participation in four editions of the "Biennale d'Arte Triveneta" and in one edition of the "Biennale Nazionale" of San Marino in 1959.
