Vittorio Postiglione - Torvaianica in the 1950s

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 been a major aspiration for artists of every era. 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 sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The artist Vittorio Postiglione stands out for his production of predominantly expressionist landscapes, consistently emphasizing a highly expressive synthesis of sensory information. His works typically take the form of evanescent skylines, where the composition unfolds as a play of ephemeral forms and colors. In this representation of Torvaianica, however, the artist seems to seek greater expressive vigor. Indeed, we can see how the brushwork is decidedly gestural. The brushstrokes are highly agitated, composed of strong, structural marks, dense with pictorial substance. In short, the gesture transfers the painter's emotion to the canvas, also through the choice of colors, which do not entirely reflect the naturalistic context.

Vittorio Postiglione is a painter who has devoted himself almost exclusively to urban landscapes, which he created with a highly personal style tending towards Expressionism.
