{"product_id":"nazzareno-cugurra-strada","title":"Nazzareno Cugurra - Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. 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 from this painting, Nazzareno Cugurra's artistic language is decidedly minimalist. For him, reproducing reality means reducing it, seeking the true essence of objects. This exploration is essentially accomplished through the painterly gesture of a dense brushstroke, giving form to things with just a few strokes. Completing the picture is Cugurra's explicitly chiaroscuro palette, which further enhances this sense of intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Nazzareno Cugurra was born in Verona in 1924, but his career was spent primarily in Naples, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1951, he participated in the Rome Quadrennial and in 1956 in the Venice Biennale. He moved to Rome in the late 1950s. In 1954, he won the Premio Città di Pizzo and in 1956, he exhibited in Brescia at the “La Loggia” gallery with Maccari and Vangelli.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bux Michele","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217906381186,"sku":"MBUX012","price":700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/cugurra-nazzareno-strada-copia.jpg?v=1768469362","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/nazzareno-cugurra-strada","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
