Piergianni Cedraschi - Glimpse of a Mountain Landscape

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has always been an artist's aspiration. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance, then with atmospheric rendering in the 16th century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In this work, the artist Piergianni Cedraschi, known as a ceramist, was also highly skilled in drawing techniques. This landscape view has a highly evocative composition: we can see how the space is rationally organized, with a progressive overlapping of depressions, leading to a final opening that disappears into the distance. The graphic line that constructs the objects is extremely elegant. The hatching that delineates the terrain, with its striations, gives a highly dynamic rhythm to the entire work.

Piergianni Cedraschi was born in Viggiù in 1935. He trained at the Brera Academy and began his career in ceramics in Toni Fabris's workshop. After graduating, he launched his career by opening his own workshop, where he combined ceramics with bronze work. Due to his reserved nature, he participated in few exhibitions, including three solo exhibitions (one in Gallarate and two in Milan at the Galleria Borromeo in 1974 and the Galleria Bolzani in 1993). He often worked on tombs or sacred monuments. Piergianni Cedraschi passed away in 2012.
