Salvatore Fiume - Life of Lautrec

The iconography of this work refers to the life of the French post-impressionist painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, whose favorite subjects were dancers and prostitutes.

The work displays the stylistic roughness of the Sicilian master's most expressionistic phase. The deliberately coarse linework sketches out the figures, relegating them to a raw state that is synonymous with synthesis and, therefore, expressiveness. The color palette, based on bright, almost violent tones, also adapts to this condition.

Salvatore Fiume, born in 1915 in Comiso, was a painter, sculptor, and architect. His career as a painter focused on a reinterpretation of classicism, particularly Renaissance painting and Piero della Francesca. Later, thanks to his success, he traveled extensively around the world, drawing inspiration from exotic folklore, which he rendered with an expressionist touch.
