{"product_id":"saverio-terruso-san-giovanni-degli-eremiti","title":"Saverio Terruso - Saint John of the Hermits","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\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 sixteenth century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn this work, Saverio Terruso creates an expressionist landscape. Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with a remarkable exercise in reduction. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no concessions to spatial depth. The landscape is constructed through a simple layering of color. The hues themselves lack a complete connection to reality, lending themselves to a more spiritual than naturalistic interpretation. The brushstrokes are gestural, dense with a material color that gives substance to the forms crushed by the two-dimensionality of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSaverio Terruso was a painter born in Monreale in 1939 and passed away in 2003. His artistic career began in 1963 and grew through collaborations with artists such as Guttuso, Sassu, and Fiume. His works have been exhibited in numerous shows, not only in Italy, but also in the United States, Brazil, and Mexico. He is represented in several Italian and international collections. His artistic language can be described as expressionism, revealing a certain folksy inclination, undoubtedly derived from Terruso's Mediterranean roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bianchi Graziella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56211892175234,"sku":"GBIA002","price":900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/20180518_090036.jpg?v=1768401954","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/saverio-terruso-san-giovanni-degli-eremiti","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
