Vincenzo Munaro - Untitled

Landscape 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; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In this work, Vincenzo Munaro highlights his post-Impressionist pictorial tendencies. The composition is entirely constructed through color, and the brushstrokes have a notable structural value. The painter's aim is not to capture the sensory aspect of the landscape, but to capture its very essence, its substance. To this end, the brushstrokes, rich in texture, intervene, breaking down the space into different planes despite the simplicity of the representation, recording the vibrations of light and life on the subject. Thus, within a substantially two-dimensional surface, compressed in the foreground, the objects are constructed by the painter with broad, dense brushstrokes, and the houses are structured according to geometric principles inspired by Cézanne. Chromatically, the entire surface of the work is balanced by a palette of echoes and correspondences between the green of the meadows and the white/grey of the houses.

Vincenzo Munaro was born in Funes di Chies d'Alpago in 1947. He trained in Venice, where he encountered illustrious teachers such as Barbisan and Messina. He began painting in the 1960s and had his first solo exhibition in Grado in 1969. From that moment on, there were numerous exhibitions in which the artist gained critical and public acclaim. In Umbertide, he created the first monument to the Resistance (1975). In 1979, he met Pope John Paul II in Rome and created the bronze bas-relief "La continuita".
