Description of the work
Description of the work
The work displays a marked expressionist vocation, that is, a tendency to emphasize the expression of emotions. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion. Formally, this translates into a summary rendering of the figures, through a very nervous and animated line, as well as the use of a violent color palette. These characteristics are found in the historical avant-garde movements of expressionism: Fauvism and the Die Brucke movement in Germany.
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 broken and convulsive curvilinear 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.
