Mario Fattori - Diptych

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

The work is constructed on a delicate lyricism based on color. The depiction can be essentially described as realist, with a keen eye on a humble and unassuming dimension. All of this, however, is transfigured into a lyrical and existential dimension by Mario Fattori's pictorial style. The brushstrokes are wavy, charged with luminous and chromatic vibrations. Color has a structural function, and the painter, with just a few synthetic touches, manages to give form to the subjects, ensuring immediacy in the representation.

Mario Fattori is an artist born in 1930. He is primarily the author of genre scenes inspired by the peasant world, always interpreted with a realism mixed with poetic lyricism.
