Rosso corallo: un colore che parla di passione. Come quella che percorre questa storia, dominata da una protagonista decisa a realizzare i propri sogni senza tradire se stessa. Liliana Corti cresce, insieme ai tre fratelli, in una famiglia operaia nella Milano del dopoguerra. Dai genitori ha imparato a preservare la sua dignità e a rivendicare i propri diritti in una società in cui i più deboli subiscono spesso soprusi e ingiustizie. Intanto, i tempi cambiano velocemente: arrivano gli anni del boom economico, la contestazione, i giorni cupi del terrorismo, la "Milano da bere", l'intreccio tra politica e affari...

Confidences

Watercolor on paper. Artist's monogram top left. Tranquillo Cremona, after an initial period close to romantic painting, from 1870 onwards distanced himself from the influences of Francesco Hayez and adopted a painting style with indefinite contours, developing the concept of "macchia scapigliata" together with his friend Daniele Ranzoni: after an initial intervention with brushes, he refined the works with his fingers to blend, using all his fingers to make his paintings as vaporous as possible. This technique (which cost him his life due to lead poisoning caused by repeated contact with the skin of the colors) was compared by Camillo Boito to the views of the magic lantern, when the right focus of the lens had not yet been found: the image is already distinguishable, but is immersed in an almost gaseous vapor. The subjects of Tranquillo Cremona's works were always human figures, present in the historical-literary scenes of the romantic period, as in the portraits and genre scenes of the scapigliata phase; his subjects were taken from everyday life, in its simplicity and spontaneous immediacy, like these three female figures depicted in a moment of confidential and intimate conversation between friends. The work is presented in a late 19th century frame.
