Giuseppe Chiari - Green Guitar

The work has a marked expressionist vocation, which tends to emphasize the expression of emotions. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion. Formally, this translates into a summary rendering of the figures, through a very nervous and animated line, as well as the use of a violent color palette. These characteristics are found in the historical avant-garde movements of expressionism: Fauvism and the Die Brucke movement in Germany.

The work uses a substantially figurative language; despite its strong abstract component, it remains rooted in a reality recognizable through the five senses. This synthetic component is connected to the aesthetics peculiar to Giuseppe Chiari's work, which based his artistic practice on experiments in visual music. The strongly gestural component, which leads to the delineation of the musical instrument's form through instinctive strokes dictated by a vibrant emotion, is informed by the experience of listening to music. The object is thus pervaded by a nervous linearity that marks its contours and also characterizes the surrounding space, with the aim of capturing and visually translating all the vibrations associated with listening to music.

Giuseppe Chiari was a Florentine artist born in 1926 and died in 2007. He was a composer and musician whose work focused on the connection between music and visual art. This path was also part of his membership in the Fluxus group, which embraced the blending of various artistic media as its manifesto. Among his most notable solo exhibitions are the 2009 one at Careof DOCVA in Milan and the 2011 performance at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, curated by Achille Bonito Oliva. Among his group exhibitions are his participation in the 10th Rome Quadrennial, the Venice International Art Exhibitions of 1972, 1976, and 1978, Documenta 5 in Kassel in 1972, and the 1990 Sydney Biennale.
