Age: Contemporary

Subject: Abstract Composition

Technical specification: Oil on Plywood

Description : Isola di statue

Oil on plywood. Signed lower right. Complete with authentication on photo of the daughter. The work is part of Salvatore Fiume's series of paintings known as City of Statues and Islands of Statues, in which the influence of Italian Renaissance painting is evident, as well as that of the metaphysical works of Italian masters such as Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Savinio and Carlo Carrà. Cities and Islands are made up of architectural elements in humanoid forms, which bring together painting, sculpture and architecture. Salvatore Fiume was a multifaceted artist, painter, sculptor, architect, writer (he published novels, short stories, tragedies, comedies and poems) and set designer (he collaborated with the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, with Covent Garden in London and with the Teatro Massimo of Palermo). After training at the Royal Art Institute of the Book of Urbino, he moved to Milan where he forged relationships with important intellectuals of the time, including Quasimodo and Buzzati. He began his activity as Art Director in Ivrea, but soon moved to Canzo to devote himself full time to painting, his true passion, while also engaging in some experiments in the sculptural and architectural fields. On the occasion of its first exhibition, in 1949 at the Borromini Gallery, it achieved great success with the public and critics. Fiume traveled extensively and exhibited all over the world, assimilating the uses, customs, cultures and atmospheres of each place where he stayed and re-proposing them in his works. In 1993 he went to Polynesia to visit and be influenced by the places where the famous Paul Gauguin lived and created great masterpieces. Salvatore Fiume's mature works are strongly influenced by Gauguin's art and exotic atmospheres: warm tones, strong chromatic contrasts, simple shapes, fantastic themes and almost metaphysical settings. The protagonists of this creative period are often curvy and sensual Mediterranean and oriental women. Today Salvatore Fiume's works are preserved in important private collections and Italian and foreign museums, including the Vatican Museums, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the MoMA in New York, the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. The work is framed.

Subject: Abstract Composition

Artistic technique: Painting

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.

Nikas Safronov Oil On Panel Contemporary

Saint George 1992

Oil on panel. Signed bottom right. On the back, with Cyrillic characters, there is the title, the date and the location, Bergamo. The Lithuanian artist, who currently lives and works between Moscow, Italy and the United Kingdom, is considered one of the most important contemporary Russian artists. In his large production there are landscapes, still lifes, many portraits of famous people and his surreal compositions, an expression of his peculiar "dream vision" of reality. Even in this table, albeit in the style of traditional icons, the depiction of the famous St. George is proposed in a surreal key that reminds of De Chirico, in which the dragon is replaced by a goose, the Saint's head is an egg, in the outlines there are figures of sorceresses... a clearly unorthodox interpretation! The panel has a vertical slit. The piece is presented in a frame.

R. Pellegrini Oil on Canvas Italy 1909

Glimpse of Mandello Lario 1909

Oil on canvas. Signature and location (Mandello) lower left. On the back additional signature, date and title in full. Riccardo Pellegrini, a Milanese painter, was a pupil of Domenico Morelli and was educated in the climate of romanticism. He was a landscape painter and genre painter, but he also created valuable still lifes, with bright colors and a precise and realistic drawing. His landscape production drew on the various places he visited and lived, in Italy and abroad, especially in Spain and France. In this landscape, Pellegrini offers a glimpse of the mountain that overlooks the town on the shores of Lake Como: a barren and bare mountain, albeit inhabited, with the hut on the top and a female figurine that fills the buckets at the stream of flowing water. between the rocks; the colors are those of the winter mists, divided almost transversely between the gray-blue of the upper part, with clouds laden with rain that dominate the peaks on the other side of the lake (which can be sensed, without being seen), and the green-brown of the land that occupies the lower half, with the branches of the bare trees stretched out to connect the two halves. The quiet of the mountains, the title of the work, clearly shines through and pervades the mind of the observer. The painting is presented in a contemporary frame.
