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\u003eAs we can see in this and other works by Libero Vitali, for the Venetian painter the theme of landscape becomes a pretext for reconstructing the world through his perception and thus reducing it to pure forms and pure colors. Sensitive reality, then, is subjected to a significant process of synthesis, but also to expressionistic deformation. The entire landscape is reduced to a series of geometric, angular figures that intersect to form fields of color in which the pictorial layering is structural and material. In this way, the perception of reality is transfigured into a complex interplay of chromatic balances and refined dissonances. The palette favors aggressive, almost violent colors, referencing the Expressionist tradition. The exercise in reducing and abstracting reality compresses the pictorial space into a two-dimensional surface, but it is the figures themselves that create their own depth. Indeed, we can see how the chromatic fields are arranged on overlapping planes, presupposing a complex conception of space, not univocal, but based on different directional lines. In this way, despite the accentuated synthesis, Vitali can deeply investigate reality, following a process of decomposition that harks back to Cubism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eLibero Vitali was born in Venice in 1928.
