The naturalistic depiction of landscape has always been an artist's aspiration. 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 16th century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this mixed media on paper, Riccardo Chicco's style is essentially based on a cursive brushstroke and color applied in very light washes. Everything is constructed through color, which, however, does not create space through progressive tonal gradation, but rather creates strong contrasts between one area of ​​color and another. The result is a personal blend of a post-Impressionist pictorial style and a synthetic approach typical of an Expressionist culture. Even the shapes of the objects, following this trend, are delineated in a minimalist manner with a certain anti-naturalistic tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eRiccardo Chicco (Turin 1910 – 1973) was born into a family of merchant entrepreneurs. At birth, he developed a serious hip ailment that would leave him immobilized for years and a future limp. In 1922, he studied under Vittorio Cavalleri, an exponent of the traditional landscape school. From 1925 to 1928, he studied in the studio of Giovanni Grande, a painter and ceramist who worked for the Lenci artistic ceramics factory. In 1928, he joined the Turin school of Felice Casorati, an undisputed figure in early twentieth-century Turin painting. In 1931, he left Casorati's studio and made his debut at the Società Promotrice di Belle Arti. From the second half of the 1930s, he spent time in London, Paris (at the Louvre copy school), Vienna, and Munich (at the Alte Pinakothek). In March 1946, he held his first solo exhibition at the Galleria del Bosco in Turin, with an introduction by his mentor, Felice Casorati. In 1948, 1950, and 1956, he exhibited at the Venice Biennale. In 1950, he participated in the national exhibition \"The Painters of Bardonecchia\" in Turin at the Galleria della Gazzetta del Popolo. Between 1951 and 1963, his works received numerous local and national awards, and from 1963 onwards, he was represented at the Milan Triennale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Besta Carla abbassata a 200€","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218311459202,"sku":"CBES003","price":500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/f2cd7612-8f27-4f43-bd0e-4eb66f1b9836.jpg?v=1768472684","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/riccardo-chicco-senza-titolo-2-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
