Tono Zancanaro - Brunalba at the northern tip

The work has a marked expressionist vocation, which tends to emphasize the expression of emotions. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion. Formally, this translates into a summary rendering of the figures, through a very nervous and animated line, as well as the use of a violent color palette.

This work depicts a recurring subject in Tono Zancarano's oeuvre. The female body is always reduced to a pure graphic line, which, however, through its complex movement, gives the figure volume and physiognomy, despite the lack of formal means.

Antonio Zancanaro (Padua 1906-1985), known as Tono, began painting only in 1932, after abandoning a promising sports career. He was self-taught, having trained in the Florentine anti-fascist movement with Ottone Rosai. His work primarily focuses on the humblest social situations, but always with a vein of fantasy, brought about by his lively, caricatural drawings.
