{"product_id":"salvatore-fiume-verso-dio-2","title":"Salvatore Fiume - Towards God","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe iconography of this painting certainly has allegorical meanings and can be defined, in some ways, as symbolist precisely because of its allusion to underlying meanings. It is a type of subject matter that can be traced back to the artistic language of late-nineteenth-century painters such as Moreau, Bocklin, and Puvis des Chavannes, who, while using a primarily figurative language, developed intellectually complex iconographies, full of symbolic and allegorical references. Along with his fascination with the exotic and distant, the artist Salvatore Fiume also produced a series of works with mystical subjects, inspired by a legendary and primordial Eden. In these works, the Sicilian artist developed his most complex iconographies, with profound symbolic meanings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this work, Salvatore Fiume, while remaining consistent with his figurative language and his exploration of formal values, adopts a more expressionistic approach. The subjects are more concise and essential, and the plasticity that characterizes his famous female figures is absent. The color is applied in dense areas reminiscent of Gauguin's cloisonné technique, delineating the forms with a few brushstrokes. The drawing is kept to a minimum, used only to outline the figures with a few iconic strokes. Chromatically, the use of warm colors strikingly highlights the two shadows at the center of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSalvatore Fiume was born in 1915 in Comiso and died in Milan in 1997. In addition to being a painter and sculptor, he was also an 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 in an expressionist manner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frullini Laura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218037191042,"sku":"LFRU001","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/PHOTO-2021-10-13-16-33-17.jpg?v=1768470382","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/salvatore-fiume-verso-dio-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
