Dedication
- Raffaele Frumenti -
Raffaele Frumenti (1922 – 2002) was born in Rome in Borgo Pio, the ancient papal quarter. A painter by vocation, he showed the ability to express himself artistically from a young age, when for pure amusement he built small theatres, taking care of the scenery and painting the backdrops. His painting is a colorful, melancholic, ironic, and captivating world that explodes in the representation of the human comedy. The paintings depict figures resembling cardinals who at the same time evoke circus clowns, in a world of ghosts that spring from his subconscious, perhaps a legacy of a childhood spent peering inside the Basilica of Saint Peter.
Raffaele Frumenti’s painting, formally, is essentially a painting of color: a precious color experienced as a kind of visual music that is orchestrated through variation in timbres and tones, in a profusion of sparkling brushwork—a painting of pleasurable sensations. He also had the honor of executing a three-panel mural in the atrium of the S. Basilio Middle School in Rome, commissioned by the Fine Arts Department. He designed the cover for the book Polizia in azione. He was a teacher of Artistic Drawing at the State Middle School “Benvenuto Cellini.”
