Orfeo Tamburi - Paris five lithographs

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings. While respecting Orfeo Tamburi's predilection for urban landscapes, these five lithographs show a different approach in terms of execution. In his easel works, the artist displays a more textured brushstroke, where the cityscape becomes a play of intersections between planes and volumes. In these five lithographs, we perceive a more playful, illustrator-like streak, striving for curious detail and meticulous execution. Yet a certain pictorialism is maintained, in the lively hatching and the distribution of diluted color. Orfeo Tamburi, a painter born in Jesi in 1910, trained in Paris and participated in the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial. The undisputed protagonist of his work is the urban landscape, which he interprets with a textured brushstroke that gives consistency to objects, making his compositions a play of interlocking planes and volumes in perspective.
