Description of the work
Description of the work
Social themes in art began to gain prominence towards the mid-19th century, coinciding with the spread of social questions in various European societies. The work of painters such as Millet and Daumier, for example, favored subjects related to life in the fields, factory work, or strikes. In Italy, among the first painters to engage deeply with social themes were Pellizza da Volpedo and, in the contemporary era, Renato Guttuso. In the particular case of Cavaldororo, this interest often focused on the Mexican working classes.
Alfredo Cavaldoro's painting style is rooted in the harshness of life and work. This harshness is eloquently translated by the artist into form. His brushstrokes are rough and raw, sketching out the figures in a dense, textured canvas. Even the colors contribute to this poetics, adopting earthy tones.
Alfredo Cavaldoro was a painter originally from Mestre, where he was born in 1924 and died in 1984. His artistic production was characterized by a substantially expressionist style, which strongly synthesizes figures in hard and rough forms.
