Salvatore Azzù - Untitled

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 an artist's aspiration throughout the centuries. 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, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The style of the painter Salvatore Azzù is founded primarily on the expressive value of the line. The painter uses bold lines to construct his subjects with a highly structured composition. The subjects are quickly synthesized within a composition charged with linear rhythm and expressive vigor. Even the color is applied with an almost gestural texture, lending strength to Azzù's expressionist language.

Salvatore Azzù was a painter originally from Sassari, born in 1924 and died in 2004. A friend and colleague of Costantino Spada, unlike the other great Sassari painter, he was self-taught. His works are present in several public and private collections. Throughout his long career, he participated in numerous national and regional competitions, attracting the favor of many critics and collectors.
