Epoca: 1950/70provenance: Emilia RomagnaConditions: very goodMeasurements: 16 x 29 cm Gaetano Pancaldi he is a poet of microcosms, of distant and forgotten worlds, of peasant and peasant atmospheres relived with ingenuity and sincere passion, with the eyes full of wonder and curiosity of the children of the past. He brings the rituals of the countryside to life, the patient work of the oxen, the timeless gestures of the farmers and housewives, the rustic and welcoming environments in which the foods had unrepeatable flavors and the stories were born to become proverbs and nursery rhymes to be transmitted for centuries .Paintings in which the colors and lights rediscover the clarity of distant springs, the joy of the flights of the swallows and the songs of the reapers, atmospheres in which the falling of the snow at Christmas or the blooming of roses in May were magical events were long desired as if it happened for the first time. On the other hand, he tried to make the hysteria of the contemporary world, without joy and without wonder, where the rhythm of the actions is programmed in places unrelated to man and his nature, therefore unnatural and almost cruel. The contrast is dramatic, the effect impressive though more technical and, so to speak, forced.Pancaldi real inspiration is the lost world of processions and threshing, of the stables and threshing floors shining with golden chaff, of the chicks that follow the broods along the rows torn by the effort of the spade and hoe. There is a sense of the harshest fatigue in his paintings and the simplest and purest joy.(Valerio Massimo Manfredi) - Subject: dancer Medium and painting surface: pen on paper Artist: Gaetano Pancaldi (1922-2014), painter from Piumazzo di Castelfranco Emilia in Modena province in the north of Italy.
