Additional Information

Artist: Ambrogio Vismara (1900-1994)

Born in Seregno (Milan) in 1900, Ambrogio Vismara is considered one of the most poetic landscape painters of the 20th century. He transposed his love for his native places into his works, dedicating most of his production to the Lombard landscapes - the mountains, the plains, the hills of his native Brianza - and evoking almost all of them in autumnal atmospheres and tones. His peculiarity was the use of the spatula instead of the brush, which allowed him to obtain an effect of tonal spots, with a clear contrast of planes. Less conspicuous, however, was his orientalist production, in which he used the same technique, but introducing the warmer and brighter colors evoked by the sun of Eastern countries. Ambrogio Vismara died in Milan in 1994.

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.
