SERGIO DIFFICILI
Sergio Difficili (Livorno, 1925 – 2007)
He was one of the last and most coherent interpreters of the Labronican School, and by many considered the last true Tuscan Macchiaiolo.
Although active well into the twentieth century, his painterly language remains firmly anchored to the tradition of la macchia, updated however with a modern sensibility.
In his works color overwhelmingly prevails over drawing: form is born from light, and light becomes the structure of the image, as in the great Macchiaioli masters, the scene is flooded with a bright and unified luminosity, built through intense and calibrated tonal values, capable of giving depth and breath to the pictorial space.
His brushwork is vibrant, dense, synthetic, never descriptively academic; each painting yields a strong visual impression, immediate and scenographic, in which chromatic freshness becomes an expressive hallmark.
Difficili does not view la macchia as a nostalgic language, but as a living tradition, still capable of speaking to the present.
A solitary yet central figure in Livorno painting of the late twentieth century, Sergio Difficili represents the final link in a long artistic genealogy, from Fattori to the heart of the 20th century, keeping intact the primacy of light and color.
"From Signorini to Fattori, from Soffici to Rosai, up to this extraordinary and faithful interpreter of the spirit that animated the great ensemble of interpreters of the Macchiaiolo movement, Sergio Difficili, a highly respected master of great notoriety and notable artistic stature"...(G. Cattaneo).
