{"product_id":"romano-conversano-senza-titolo-2","title":"Romano Conversano - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape 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 16th century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. A typical and recurring subject in Romano Conversano's works is the village of small white houses. These typical villages of Puglia, the region where Conversano often lived and drew inspiration, are perfectly suited to the poetics of this painter, who transfigures reality through the lyricism of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis lithograph is an excellent example of Romano Conversano's artistic language. He does not see landscape painting as a description of reality but rather as a piece of poetry. For this reason, his views, far from encompassing large portions of landscape, focus, as in this case, on a narrow set of lines and volumes from which to derive an extremely harmonious and balanced composition. The transfiguration of reality into lyricism also involves a reduction of details to extract, with an expressionist approach, the essence of perceived things. Thus, the small village is rendered in a superimposition of pure, sharp volumes, their whiteness marked by an almost blinding light. In this work of transposing reality to the purity of emotion, the application of the paint plays a fundamental role. Indeed, the pictorial material is essential in imbuing objects with profound vibrations that almost seem to corrode the surface of things. Vibrations that are luminous and atmospheric, but also, and above all, existential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eRomano Conversano was born in 1920 in Rovinj, Istria, and died in 2010 in Milan. He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. After the war, he lived for several years in Rovereto, where he animated the city's cultural life. He traveled to Spain, France, and Flanders, places that inspired his art. In the 1950s, he lived between Milan and Peschici and devoted himself to female portraits, juxtaposing the \"Women of Today\" and \"Ancient Puglia.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polacco Simone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215798481282,"sku":"SPOL002","price":700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Conversano-2-copia.jpg?v=1768429201","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/romano-conversano-senza-titolo-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
