Description

ARTURO MANZANO (Udine, 1901 - 1981). "Urban view". Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper left corner. Measurements: 37 x 49 cm; 55 x 67 cm (frame). Arturo Manzano was a self-taught painter and art critic. He has to his credit dozens of articles and essays on art criticism. He is present in the Gallery of Modern Art of Udine. A cultural commitment deployed with remarkable professionalism in this field made him an outstanding protagonist in the first decades after World War II, when the debate on art issues was heated. At that time, Manzano enriched the ongoing cultural ferment with interventions that were often not very accommodating, but which, albeit with a certain intransigence, made important contributions to the cultural growth of Friuli. At a certain point, the love he cultivated for art was also expressed through his pictorial practice, which allowed him to express his homage to the Friulian soul through his interpretation of the rural landscape, realized with synthetic pictorial mixtures, executed with full-bodied and immediate brushstrokes, without descriptive inflections.
