Remo Brindisi - Venice - ECAR004

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. This work is part of a comprehensive series in which Remo Brindisi focused on views of the city of Venice.

The work of artist Remo Brindisi is essentially based on an expressionist approach to the synthesis and abstraction of subjects, even when they draw on traditional iconography such as landscape. Remo Brindisi's expressionism is expressed through a synthesis of the subject matter, crafted through curved lines, with a nervous flow and a rough outline. This brings him closer to Fauvism. In particular, in the series of Venetian landscapes, we see how the artist subjects phenomenal reality to that extreme synthesis, somewhere between brutalism and infantilism, conducted through line and color, which is highly reminiscent of Matisse. Even in terms of palette, the chromatic range of these landscapes can be truly described as Fauvist. In this case, the landscape is completely immersed in a chromatic zone of intense blue that encompasses both sky and lagoon.

Remo Brindisi was born in Rome in 1918 and died in Lido di Spina in 1996. His first solo exhibition was held in Florence in 1940. From that moment on, he continued to enjoy great renown. His painting cycles, "Venezie", "Oppositori", "Pastorelli", and "Maternità", are famous. He also painted a cycle on the history of Fascism. His works have been exhibited in numerous shows in Italy and abroad (Paris, Nice, Milan, Venice, Rome, Cairo, and São Paulo, Brazil). Between the 1940s and 1950s, he participated in various editions of the Rome Quadrennial and the Venice Biennale.
