| 1970s / ’75: Relationship man–nature |
| |
| |
| The circles inscribed in the squares
that Lucatello entitles “mandala” are most certainly
a suggestion to the hinted mysticism and are clearly inspired
by rose windows in churches. But there are also thick tree trunks
with lumps of colour jutting out, and also trees that are almost
naturalistic. The paint often takes on dramatic tones, spread
with violent stokes, harsh and distorted in the impasto. Man
is an integral part of nature; during his brief life he breathes
with nature and therefore at times the pictures are divided
in two – on one side there is a mulberry bush, or in any
case a reference to nature, and on the other, the head of an
old man or of a woman. These are the Relationship man–nature,
a title which will follow him for the rest of his life. |
