| 1978s/1980s: Wheat Fields |
| |
| |
Wheat fields (but also the inside of
woods), calm, lyric and peaceful. A song of solar yellows and
transparent greens, which shows a dimension of reality contained
in a detail. This dimension of reality can be easily seen by
whoever cares to lower their gaze to look at the earth, forgetting
the usual references and surrendering themselves to the beat
of nature seduced by man’s ways.
During this period Lucatello produced many coloured inks on
paper, where the brushstrokes often become so rich that they
are almost virtuoso. There are also compact, square or rectangular
patches that indulge in a wide range of greens and are both
on paper and in oil on canvas.
…“moments of nature”, wrote Pauletto, “of
such a joyous truth and lightness, that their green is no longer
matter, but dreams and sparkling life; for example certain solar
moments of sensational fine painting, sons of a concentration
that is hard to imagine”. |
