About the artist: emanuele bettini (prato, 1917-2002) was a multifaceted figure in twentieth-century italian culture, active as a poet, writer, and painter. (wikipedia) his pictorial production, characterized by an expressive and material language, is part of the artistic experimentation of the 1960s, a period of great creative ferment for italian art. This still life from 1963 reinterprets the classic theme of the vase of flowers through a modern and gestural pictorial approach. The artist dissolves the traditional form into a composition where the subject emerges from a rich and layered pictorial surface. The expressive brushstrokes and dense chromatic material create a dynamic dialogue between figuration and abstraction. The palette, dominated by whites, intense blues, and accents of red and yellow, gives the work a particular luminosity. The vase, recognizable in its essential form by the central blue line, integrates harmoniously with the background, creating an effect of interpenetration between the object and the surrounding space. The work demonstrates bettini's ability to combine tradition and modernity, transforming an iconic subject of western painting into a contemporary artistic statement, consistent with the pictorial research of his time.
