Umberto Bianchini - Faces

The work displays a marked expressionist vocation, which emphasizes the expression of emotions. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion. Formally, this translates into a summary rendering of the figures, through a highly nervous and animated line, as well as the use of a violent color palette. These characteristics are found in the historical avant-garde movements of expressionism: Fauvism and the Die Brucke movement in Germany. Artist Umberto Bianchini focused his pictorial research on female faces and figures, arriving at his own entirely original form of expressionism.

Umberto Bianchini's Expressionism is based on the synthesis of the subject and the transcendence of contingent data in favor of a representation with broader meanings. This synthesis occurs through a dense, highly elaborately applied paint. The figures thus become almost masks, which nevertheless exhibit a very marked plasticity, yet one deriving exclusively from the vibrations of the paint itself. The brushstrokes are energetic and vigorous in the rough-hewn figures. A palette of very light tones prevails, highlighting the white of the subjects, crossed by deep black shadows.

Umberto Bianchini was born in Florence in 1934 and passed away in 2010. After high school, he began working as a graphic designer and entered the world of art by studying painting, with a particular interest in post-Impressionism and Tuscan portrait painters. He participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions and events, garnering critical and public acclaim and winning several awards. He also participated, by invitation, in numerous group exhibitions and international exhibitions. His works are held in private and important public collections. Two of his works have been purchased by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment. One of his paintings is exhibited at the National Museum in Krakow.
