| Late 1950s: Earth and Ponds |
| |
| |
To penetrate the earth with one’s
eyes, to lose oneself in its folds, to listen to the quiver
of the matter. The definition of a detail and the extension
of it in space, is one of the constant themes in Lucatello’s
paintings, even though he never repeats periods.
The water in the pond is so still that sometimes it hardly ever
ripples. It is the light that pierces it with its changeable
and intense tones; the dense colour, which angrily attacks the
canvas. They are borderless pictures in which nature is the
protagonist. The colours are often black and brown as the Earth
suggests and it is also significant that the painter treats
black as a vivid or even joyous tonality. The earths end the
venetian experience. |
