{"product_id":"roberto-pellegatti-giocatori","title":"Roberto Pelagatti - Players","description":"\u003cp\u003e The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Indeed, with the development of 19th-century realism, everyday subjects were considered as important as historical or religious ones. The Impressionists, in particular, favored subjects related to modern life in urban, bourgeois settings. In this work by Roberto Pelagatti, the subject depicted and the artist's interpretation suggest a satirical intent against bourgeois society and its hypocrisies. The composition has a highly ironic and cynical tone, as is typical of many of Roberto Pelagatti's works with bourgeois settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eRoberto Pelagatti's language, characterized by his art as an ironic critique of bourgeois society, has strong connections with the German New Objectivity movement. It embodies the same simplified and infantile interpretation of a realism based on a marked plasticity. We find the same cynical nature of painters like George Grosz or Otto Dix in lashing out at their own society with lucid irony. For this reason, formally, his characters appear like automatons, with their stereotyped faces and blank expressions. The composition is also handled in a deliberately simplistic manner, with the subjects clearly arranged instinctively according to basic rules of symmetry and overlapping planes. In this way, everything acquires a strong expressive value that points precisely towards a caricatured yet refined representation. This is where Roberto Pelagatti's elaborate style comes into play, constructing his subjects through large, square volumes that fit into a multi-perspective space, of Cubist origin. The lines are sharp, and the plasticity is further highlighted by an elaborate pictorial layering. The palette also has a very pronounced expressionistic quality, featuring bright shades of purple contrasting with the whites and blues of the clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eRoberto Pelagatti is a renowned 20th-century artist whose work largely draws inspiration from an ironic and cynical vision of bourgeois society. His artistic language is therefore inspired by a distorted, expressionistic realism, both in form and content, according to a deliberately simplified and stereotyped vision of the world. In this vision, he draws inspiration from the German New Objectivity movement and shows signs of being inspired by artists such as Otto Dix and George Grosz.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucchini Monica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215749624194,"sku":"MLUC001","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/4-R.-Pelagatti-1-scaled.jpg?v=1768428760","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/roberto-pellegatti-giocatori","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
