The \"frost\" was created by the painter Pancaldi towards the early sixties and refined throughout his career until reaching the extraordinary results of the 80s\/90s.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gaetano Pancaldi (Piumazzo di Castelfranco Emilia, 1922-2014). \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe representation of nature and daily life were among the artist's favorite subjects, who was very active and well-known in the Modena area due to his activity as a poster designer for the Communist Party of Modena and the numerous exhibitions he held.

He brings to life the rites of the countryside, 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 passed on for centuries . \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaintings 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 flowering of the roses in May were magical events desired as if they were happening 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 actions is programmed in places foreign to man and his nature, unnatural, therefore, and almost cruel. The contrast is dramatic, the effect impressive even if more technical and, so to speak, forced.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pancaldi's true inspiration is the lost world of processions and threshing, of the stables and threshing floors shining with golden chaff, of the chicks following the hens along the rows tilled by the toil of the spade and the hoe. There is a sense of the harshest fatigue in his paintings, and of the simplest and purest joy.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e (Valerio Massimo Manfredi)","brand":"Belbello Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41771076944059,"sku":"194385905997","price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/5857\/1195\/products\/IMG_9602.jpg?v=1632663492","url":"https:\/\/www.belbello.com\/en-de\/products\/ritratto-di-bambino-su-sfondo-astratto-firmato-dipinto-tecnica-del-gelo-p10","provider":"Belbello Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
