{"product_id":"renato-borsato-senza-titolo-2","title":"Renato Borsato - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe work displays a marked expressionist vocation, emphasizing the expression of emotions rather than a naturalistic rendering. Formally, this translates into a summary description of the figures, using highly synthetic lines. In this sense, Renato Borsato displays a distinct peculiarity that characterizes his style even in his depiction of landscapes: a penchant for painting based entirely on color. In Borsato, color is distributed in compact areas and divided into various zones. The different areas of color, like a mosaic, form the object, which, through this decomposition achieved through color, gains in expressiveness. The result is a type of representation of the view that, in addition to possessing a light and immediate character, presents specific emotional connotations, in keeping with the painter's expressionist language. The use of a palette of bright, almost Fauvist colors is crucial, definitively transcending the sensory to acquire a spiritual significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eRenato Borsato was born in Venice in 1927 and passed away in July 2013.

In 1955, he received a scholarship from the French government, returning to Paris after five years, also having the opportunity to visit Brittany, Normandy, and Rouen. In the autumn, he painted in Travesio, Friuli, and was invited to the VII Roman Quadriennale. The following year, in 1956, he exhibited three paintings at the XXVIII Venice International Art Biennale.

From 1979 to 1986, he was President of the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation. From 1981 to 1983 he exhibited at the 'Il Traghetto' Gallery in Venice and at the 'Galleria Rovani' in Genoa.
