Vito Lobefaro - Untitled

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consists of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art the "Still Life" also becomes a way of interpreting reality, as it did for the Cubists or Giorgio Morandi.

This still life by painter Vito Lobefaro is characterized by an exquisitely realistic interpretation of objects, which captures a poetics of simple, everyday things. The painter seeks beauty precisely in the details he delights in depicting. Formally, however, this translates not into pure objectivity but into a heightened pictorialism that synthesizes the objects in a flowing manner, lending freshness to the composition.

Vitangelo Lobefaro was born in Santeramo in Colle in 1907 and died in Rome in 1986. Known as Vito Lobefaro, he was part of a family of artists who primarily worked on advertising posters. Vito Lobefaro moved to Rome where he taught.
