Description of the work
Description of the work
In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.
In this painting, Romano Mussolini seems to depart from his usual figurative style of clowns and horses, revealing instead a much more creative Symbolist and Expressionist streak. Iconographically, it's very clear that we're dealing with a subject that doesn't claim to represent reality, but rather to convey hidden, underlying messages. While the interpretation recalls Symbolism, the execution of the painting further leans toward Expressionism, due to the accentuated synthesis of the interpretation and the use of a bold color palette.
Romano Mussolini, born in Forlì in 1927, is an essentially figurative painter who focused primarily on genre subjects such as clowns, horses, and landscapes. His compositions display a simplicity of line and color.
