Verified profile

The study for Reflections of a hungry man, also known as The look of the hungry and coming from the collection of the heirs of the Barlassina master, testifies to a customary practice for Longoni, who used to design the largest and most demanding compositions on preliminary sketches. The small oil, transported at the same time on cardboard, faithfully reflects the final result. Conducted through a palette restricted to the gray scale, interspersed with some large purplish blue brushstrokes, the canvas already communicates the icy and silent atmosphere of the final one, skilfully outlining the attitudes of the protagonists with a few luminous touches, from the shy as well as dejected gaze of the young man standing, the unconscious indifference of the bourgeois woman seated at the table in the warm restaurant, two incommunicable universes separated by a transparent screen that is as insubstantial as it is an insurmountable barrier. The silhouette of the boy - as a real character of the urban underworld of the time nicknamed the Spider is known - has an extraordinary evocative force thanks to the clear brushstroke that envelops it, cutting it out in space, in a sort of powerful backlight.
