Description

Guja Baths (XX) Albino Lorenzo (Tropea 1922-2005) - Peasant, 60s/70s H cm 100x70 Oil on masonite On the back intervention by painter Antonio Sciacca. Signed at lower left. The setting denies any drawing origin to give free rein to coloristic impressionism. The color determines powerful expressiveness. The figurative composition appears fluid and synthetic and the execution thus permeates with a realism that through brown and earthy colors connotes themes of rural and popular life actually lived. A painter who knew how to represent the pure identity of his land through shaded brushstrokes, Lorenzo Albino was a faithful custodian of the memory of the Calabrian people and a devoted son of his Tropea. Through his works he conveyed the most authentic traditions of Calabria, narrating the rural and intimate stories of peasant culture, sincere and nostalgic works in contrast to a society bent on uncontrollable technological development. Called "the poet of the land," the "faithful custodian of the peasants of the South," the "portraitist of the poor," Albino, through his artistic production, translated into images the memories, everyday life and breath of his warm Calabria.
