{"product_id":"renato-borsato-senza-titolo-3-2","title":"Renato Borsato - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003e The subject matter in Renato Borsato's work has a dual connotation: landscape and portraiture. These two genres are brought together when the figure appears intent on being portrayed, as if in front of a photographic lens. This is evident in the framing and the woman's face, which gazes toward a fixed point—the viewer's position. But Renato Borsato realizes that rather than reproducing reality as it is, a primary characteristic of photography, the painter creates an inverse process in which painting masters sight and restores its primary characteristic: that of recording the emotional reality of the painter and the figure embraced by the Venetian lagoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe work has a marked expressionist vocation, tending to emphasize the emotional aspect rather than a more realistic, naturalistic approach. This leads artist Renato Borsato to focus his attention not so much on the drawing, where even the perspective lines are superficially compressed, but on the use of color. In this case, the blue that envelops the portrayed figure, along with the clothing she is wearing, becomes a single, unified field of color, describing the object and shaping its form. The emotional connotations transcend the sensory to acquire an almost spiritual significance. The composition here not only expresses these characteristics, but at the same time, with this postcard-like framing, seeks to give the painting a photographic quality, as if the woman portrayed were posing for a photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eRenato Borsato was born in Venice in 1927 and passed away in July 2013.
