| Early 1970s: Preparing the obstacles |
| |
| |
| Lucatello’s manner of working was
consistent with his impulsive yet thoughtful character. When
he was not teaching at school he went off on his scooter around
the hillside, wandering in the woods and walking along the pebbly
river banks, scrutinising every detail. In fact he knew the
zone better that many locals and he was often the one to show
them places in Friuli. During these solitary journeys, as can
be deduced from his pictures, he must have tasted intense moments
of happiness imagining painting. Then, he closed himself in
his studio and painted with passion and haste for days and days,
until the accumulated ‘charge’ had been exhausted.
In this period, the often sullen and sombre paintings were born
which lead to the Obstacles. |
