The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge resulted in a total rejection of any visual language, which resulted in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their research focuses instead on the material with which they compose their works. Among the many languages ​​experimented with by Piero Guccione, we also find references to Informal art, as demonstrated by this painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this interpretation of a peripheral landscape, Piero Guccione abandons the figurative, intellectualistic language that characterizes so many of his interpretations of reality, to experiment with a style entirely based on matter and gesture. Piero Guccione's informal art develops through a perceptive exercise. The artist begins by acquiring sensory data and reworks it according to his highly personal sensibility. Thus, even an urban view almost definitively loses all contact with phenomenal reality, becoming a pure transposition of matter and gesture. Piero Guccione seeks to capture the impression of the object, but this leads him to completely disintegrate the form and translate his perception directly into pictorial gesture. In this painting, the artist is able to give life to a chromatic material that seems alive, dynamic, and constantly evolving. In the intensity of colors that merge into a vital organism, existence pulsates in bright, sudden flashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003ePiero Guccione was born in Scicli in 1935 and passed away in Modica in 2018. He studied at the Art School in Catania and then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Together with painters Attardi, Calabria, Farulli, Giaquinto, and Vespignani, he was part of the \"Il pro e il contro\" group from 1962 to 1964, whose research focused on a new contextualization of realist poetics. He was initially an assistant to Renato Guttuso at the Academy of Rome, and in 1979 he was appointed professor of painting at the Academy of Catania. Since then, he has lived in the countryside between Scicli and Modica, often staying in Sampieri, whose landscapes have inspired many of his seascapes. Piero Guccione has always enjoyed extraordinary public and critical acclaim, and has participated in numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally. He has also participated in several of the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial. On December 14, 2004, Piero Guccione received the Gold Medal of the Presidency of the Italian Republic from Carlo Azeglio Ciampi as a deserving figure in art and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adriano Mossini abbassata a 10000€","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218105250178,"sku":"amos001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/PIERO-GUCCIONE-SIG-MOSSINI-e1645636663104.jpg?v=1768471184","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/piero-guccione-periferia-di-notte-con-le-nuvole-illuminate","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
