Late 1970s.
Nature of Friuli: in the wood |
| |
| |
| Lucatello called many of his paintings
“Nature of Friuli”. And it is a fact that despite
being born and growing up in Venice, where greenery is a rare
occurrence between stones and lagoon, the dry and harsh, essential
region of Friuli that was very green and changeable had greatly
excited him. Trees, bushes, pebbles, rivers and fields of wheat
are part of the nature that man has contaminated and has thus
become interwoven with: this awareness become the base of the
philosophy of his painting. But after all, if Venice is crucial
in his biography because it is a school of art (distinctive
and very unique) in his formative years, Friuli is an opportunity,
a detail on his path. He was a painter who needed nature, because
he searched for a reality in which he could find the indelible
link with man’s unconscious substrate. However the story
would not have been very different if instead of Friuli, there
had been another ‘nature’, another world to penetrate.
