Additional Information

Artist: Salvatore Fiume (1915-1997)

Salvatore Fiume (Comiso 1915 - Milan 1997) was a multifaceted artist, painter, sculptor, architect, writer (he published novels, short stories, tragedies, comedies and poems) and set designer (he collaborated with the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, with Covent Garden in London and with the Teatro Massimo in Palermo). After training at the Royal Art Institute of the Book of Urbino, he moved to Milan where he forged relationships with important intellectuals of the time, including Quasimodo and Buzzati. He began his activity as Art Director in Ivrea, but soon moved to Canzo to devote himself full time to painting, his true passion, while also engaging in some experiments in the sculptural and architectural fields. He traveled a lot, bringing back in his works the atmospheres, the colors, the suggestions of the places he visited, in particular of Polynesia.

Artistic technique: Painting

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
