Verified profile

Summer. Mattino, in 1904, dates back to the years of the most convinced Divisionist trials. Sparkling morning scenery presumably referred to the same subject, that pine forest of Suese near Livorno so loved and constantly reproduced by Benvenuti. Here the composition, with horizontal development, is elegantly crossed by the slender vertical trees, ending in thick foliage cut out in the sky invaded by a Pellizziano sun, finely woven in an impenetrable network of very short and regular dashes of yellow and mother-of-pearl to form a weft inextricable of pigment. Meticulous and orthodox application of divisionism, patient and constant work of direct observation of the lights at different times of the day, a need for an intimate relationship with reality. The subtlety of the touch meets the vividness of pure colors punctuated in excellent contrasts of complementaries, to contrast the green of the hair with the already anti-naturalistic red of the thin stems silhouetted in the light, embroidered in a refined design not exempt from the decorative secessionist suggestions, which will then be the figure of a large group of architectural drawings. Patient and constant work of direct observation of the lights at different times of the day, a need for an intimate relationship with reality.
