Description from the seller
Splendid and rare early work by the Veronese master Eugenio Degani (1923-2000), dated 1951. The painting depicts a rich floral still life resolved with extraordinary expressive energy. The brushwork is tactile, rich in chromatic contrasts and characterized by cornice-like and vibrant strokes that recall the post-impressionist lesson and the European expressionism of the twentieth century.
This specific painting sits in a crucial year for the artist's career: 1951 is in fact the year of his first participation in Verona's historic Biennale. The figurative works of this initial phase testify to Degani's transition from academic training (under Guido Trentini at the Scuola Cignaroli) toward the subsequent maturity of avant-garde that would see him as a protagonist from the 1960s with spatial and plastic experiments.
An exceptional value element: The back of the work bears the important autograph signature of the artist, the title "Vaso di Fiori" and the dating 1951, traced with the maestro's characteristic handwriting, an element that guarantees its absolute authenticity and perfect historical-artistic placement.
The work is framed in an elegant and sturdy contemporaneous wooden frame with a fabric mat, which fully enhances the luminosity of the composition.
The dimensions of the painting without the frame are 40 cm x 30 cm. The visible frame in the photo is included as a courtesy and does not constitute an integral part of the work. Any damage to the frame will not be grounds for complaints or order cancellations.
