Antonio Possenti (1933-2016) - Pescatore

An artwork of great expressive force, fully attributable to the poetic and visionary style of Possenti. The scene depicts a fisherman with his catch laid out on a table: fish and shells are not depicted in a realistic or inert manner, but seem almost animated by a presence of their own. The wide-eyed, ironic expressiveness of the figures gives the composition that theatrical and surreal character typical of the artist's body of work. In the foreground, at the lower part, there is also the figure of a dog with an intense and enigmatic gaze, which seems to address the viewer directly, adding a strong narrative and emotional dimension to the scene. An element of collectible value is the presence of the dedication and Possenti's authentic inscription on the back, which guarantees the absolute originality of the work. The work has been auctioned by Farsetti (see photo).
