Pasolini - Vase of Flowers on the Table

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

The work demonstrates how Pasolini's style straddles the boundary between the phenomenal reality (that which we can apprehend through the senses) and the noumenal reality (that which we can investigate through the intellect) of the object. Indeed, his drawing structure is extremely solid, anchored to the perceptible world before his eyes. However, the interpretation of this vase of flowers and tablecloth demonstrates that his perception of the object, and especially of the object in space, goes beyond the phenomenon. Indeed, the representation is conducted along multiple directional lines, according to a perspective that is not univocal. In this way, the structures of things are explored more deeply, breaking them down within the complex space created by the artist. The color scheme also continues the investigative process conducted by Renato Guttuso, emphasizing the areas of volume and highlighting the object's relationships with the space in which it interacts.

For an artist like Pasolini, the study of “Still Life” is fundamental to developing, together with his poetics of realism, a profound investigation of the structure of objects.
