Description : Composizione

Oil on canvas. Signed and date 1973 at the bottom right. Saverio Terruso, painter of essentially Mediterranean temperament, culturally and emotionally linked to his homeland, Sicily, whose production includes a wide range of works that want to convey the authentic charm of a rural world that is now on the verge of disappearing definitively, are represented mainly rural figures, such as farmers with coppola, at work or in the trattoria, or melancholy women locked in their shawls, curves on their daily activities at home, or protagonists of processions. His painting is characterized by rather dramatic tones, with strong deformant tensions and with very bright and often contrasting colors. Although in keeping with its peculiar pictorial style, the subject proposed here departs from its most famous production, devoid of human figures: it is in fact a still life, composition of fruits in a plate on the table, although the reference is still to the popular world, Rural, dear to him. The painting is presented in a frame.

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.
