Salvatore Fiume - Nomad's Tent

The subject of this work demonstrates painter Salvatore Fiume's taste for the exotic and the distant. Indeed, themes linked to distant geographical areas are recurrent in this artist, used as a pretext for an ethno-folkloric representation of typical costumes.

The composition is perfectly suited to Salvatore Fiume's style: the exotic clothing and the subject's tribal origins, steeped in primordial values, blend perfectly with the stylistic roughness of the Sicilian master's more expressionistic phase. The deliberately coarse linework sketches out the figures, relegating them to a raw state that is synonymous with synthesis and, therefore, expressiveness. The color palette, based on earthy yet luminous tones, also fits this concept.

Salvatore Fiume, born in 1915 in Comiso, was a painter, sculptor, and architect. His career as a painter focused on a reinterpretation of classicism, particularly Renaissance painting and Piero della Francesca. Later, thanks to his success, he traveled extensively around the world, drawing inspiration from exotic folklore, which he rendered with an expressionist touch.
