- Raffaele Frumenti -

Raffaele Frumenti (1922 – 2002) born in Rome in Borgo Pio, the old papal district. A painter by vocation, he showed the capacity 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 remnant of childhood spent peering inside the Basilica of Saint Peter.

Frumenti’s painting, formally, is essentially color painting: a very precious color experienced as a kind of visual music that unfolds through variations of timbres and tones, in an outpouring of brilliant brushstrokes—a painting of pleasant sensations. He also had the honor of executing a three-panel mural in the atrium of the S. Basilio Middle School in Rome, by commission of the Fine Arts. He created the cover for the book Polizia in azione. He taught Artistic Drawing at the State Middle School “Benvenuto Cellini.”
