Gino Calderari (XX) - Natura morta

Oil on canvas Still life Italian school 20th century Signed on front and back Gino Calderari. Measurements: 70x80; 48x60; 67x50 outside the frame. The work depicts an intimate and evocative still life, centered on a terracotta vase containing a lush cyclamen plant with vivid red flowers. Beside the vase, laid on the supporting surface, are two fruits (one in warm pinkish tones and one dark green), balancing the composition. The style is characterized by a decisive painterly application and exquisitely tactile materiality, with broad and visible brushstrokes on the gray-brown background that confer dynamism and a gathered atmosphere to the scene. On the back, the canvas bears the authentic autograph of the painter with extended signature and dating (1966). The work is presented complete with the original wooden frame and light fabric mat. 1966 is a central and historically documented year for Gino Calderari's career. Precisely in that year in Rome a monographic volume dedicated to him was published, curated by Mauro Gentilini, and the artist was active in important national exhibition circuits, such as the Milanese collective exhibitions in which he participated together with great masters of the Twentieth Century (including De Chirico and Balla). This gives the painting indisputable historical interest for the author's production. Provenance: Italian private collection. Tracked shipment with courier Any damage caused during transport is not considered a reason for complaint and cancellation of the sale.
