Orfeo Tamburi - Without title

Landscape 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.

The work is a clear example of an Expressionist landscape. Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with a remarkable exercise in reduction. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no concessions to spatial depth. The landscape is constructed through a layering of material color. The hues themselves are not entirely true to reality, lending themselves to a more spiritual than naturalistic interpretation. The composition, built on overlapping chromatic zones, is so synthetic that it points towards Abstract Expressionism.

Orfeo Tamburi was a painter born in Jesi in 1910 and died in Paris in 1994. He trained in the French capital and participated in the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial. The undisputed protagonist of his work is the urban landscape, which he interprets with a textured brushstroke that gives consistency to objects, making his compositions a play of interlocking planes and volumes in perspective.
