Contemporary Painting Paolo Baratella 1992 Plato and Aristotle - Plato and Aristotle

Features

Plato and Aristotle

Artist:  Paolo Baratella (1935-2023)

Artwork title:  Platone e Aristotele

Age:  Contemporary

Subject:  Portrait/Face

Artistic technique:  Painting

Technical specification:  Mixed Technique

Description : Platone e Aristotele

Mixed media on canvas. Signature, title, date and dedication on the reverse. Paolo Baratella, a recently deceased artist from Ferrara, developed his art by composing vast pictorial cycles inspired by contemporary subjects; we therefore have series of works by him gathered under significant titles. From the mid-1980s and into the 2000s, his scenographic apparatuses became more enriched with cultural, pictorial and literal iconographic references. In particular, Baratella pays greater attention to the iconography of art, philosophy and history. In this work the artist presents the portraits of the two great Greek philosophers (taken from their traditional classical depictions) and shades them in a frame of pink-blue colours. The two individual canvases are placed side by side inside a worked wooden frame, on whose two horizontal crosspieces the words "Timaeus" a work written by Plato, and "Ethics", a recurring theme of Aristotelian philosophy, are engraved.

Additional Information

Artist: Paolo Baratella (1935-2023)

Paolo Baratella, born in 1935 to parents from Ferrara in Bologna, spent his childhood here which saw him precociously drawn to drawing, so much so that he already decided to become a painter at the age of six. During the war years he returned to Ferrara. From 1960 he began to exhibit in Milan and in other Italian and European cities. His first personal exhibition in the Lombard capital dates back to 1961. In 1972 he took part in the Venice Biennale, in 1974 and 1994 he was at the Milan Biennale, in 1986 and 1999 he exhibited at the Rome Quadriennale and in 1992 at the Milan Triennale. In 2006 he frescoed the new sacristy of the Cathedral of Ferrara. His work is characterized by vast pictorial cycles inspired by the contemporary and in particular by the violence of power in its different forms. In addition to the use of oil and acrylics, he also carries out research in the field of photographic transfers, lithography and screen printing. Baratella passed away on March 3, 2023.

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.
