Alfredo Fabbri - Flowers

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

Alfredo Fabbri's style is profoundly expressionist. He begins with a brutal formal synthesis that reduces the subject to the bare minimum of elementary pictorial gestures. Thus, in this work too, we can appreciate how the subject's structure is determined by thin black outlines and a sinuous, curved movement. The color is applied in dense layers. The chromatic tones are aggressive and violent, in the best tradition of the Fauvist-Expressionist movement, and they disregard natural truth but have a spiritual and emotional significance.

Alfredo Fabbri was a painter originally from Grosseto, born in 1926 and who passed away in 2010. He achieved great popularity, especially in the 1960s, exhibiting his works in cities such as Milan, Paris, New York, and Burgdorf in Switzerland. He initially focused on nightscapes and snowfalls. His travels in Europe, Africa, and South America were his primary source of inspiration. In the 1990s, he began painting the landscapes of the Maremma, still lifes, and flowers. The retrospective exhibition of his work in Quarrata in 2007 was particularly important.
