Description : Natura morta

Oil on wooden board. Signed lower right. On the back there is a label of participation of the work in the artist's personal exhibition held in May 1960 at the San Babila artistic center in Milan. The still life is given by the composition of some containers - two vases, a teapot, a cloth - on a spartan kitchen table; the colors of the elements blend with those of the background, in some cases almost seamlessly. Here we find the dark colors linked to the earth and peasant life, typical of Cantatore's first production, which then opened up to brighter ranges under the influence of Matisse. The work is presented in a frame.

Additional Information

Artist: Domenico Cantatore (1906-1998)

Born in Ruvo di Puglia in 1906, Domenico Cantatore was a painter, illustrator, writer and teacher. After his beginnings as an interior decorator, he moved to Rome in 1922, then to Milan in 1925, where he began to paint and frequent the group of artists linked to the Corrente artistic and literary movement, holding his first solo exhibition in 1930 at the Galleria d 'modern Art. In the Lombard capital he became a close friend of Carlo Carrà, Alfonso Gatto, Leonardo Sinisgalli and the Nobel Prize for literature Salvatore Quasimodo. In 1932 he stayed for a few years in Paris, where he had the opportunity to get to know the Impressionists, Modigliani, Picasso, Matisse and the painters of the Fauves group (the beasts) in depth. Matisse in particular became one of Domenico Cantatore's ideal masters: his gloomy, old-fashioned palette, linked to the themes of land and countryside, of peasants and women in black, under Matisse's influence became lighter and brighter. Having become famous at a European level, in 1940 he was assigned the chair of Figura at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, thus succeeding Aldo Carpi. In 1948 he met Giorgio Morandi, from whom he assimilated realism. He subsequently participated in the Bergamo Prize, the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial. In 1956 he went to Spain where he rediscovered the warm and bright colors of the south, so from this moment until the eighties he concentrated particularly on landscapes and human figures: the undisputed protagonist of his works was his South, abandoned at a young age but made relive on his canvases, painting sunsets, hilly landscapes but above all his "gnarled" men from the south, the brothers and the rites of Holy Week in Ruvese and the women, sometimes from the south and dressed in black, or his sinuous "odalisques". He died in Paris in 1998.

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.
