Lino Casa - Untitled

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings. In Lino Casa's city views, as in the present work, the everyday aspect prevails, the frank and sincere realism of everyday life in a city setting.

Lino Casa's pictorial language is strongly linked, as we can see in many of his works, to a conception of realist art, deeply rooted in the purest essence of things when he depicts simple objects or views of small villages. This is reflected not only in his choice of subject but also in his interpretation. Lino Casa's style, in fact, is based on a lived-in pictorial style, charged with existential vibrations that imbue his representations with a strong emotional charge. The thick, dense, and almost material brushstrokes have a decidedly structural function in synthesizing objects with a purist and realist spirit. All that is superfluous is eliminated, and what remains is the form and very life of the subjects, expressed through color and an expressionistic touch. Finally, Lino Casa's characteristic ability is to construct the image in a balance based on a chromatic palette of browns and warm tones.

The painter Lino Casa is an artist who can essentially be defined as belonging to the realist school. His favorite subjects are humble people or simple still lifes. Formally, he is a painter who draws on a post-impressionist or expressionist tradition in his complex pictorial construction of the image.
