Eugenio Degani (1923-2000) - Vaso di fiori

Eugenio Degani (1923-2000) - Vase of Flowers - 1951
Splendid and rare early work by the Veronese master Eugenio Degani, dated 1951. The painting depicts a lush floral still life resolved with extraordinary expressive energy. The brushwork is tactile, rich in chromatic contrasts and characterized by coric and vibrant strokes that recall post-impressionist lessons and European Expressionism of the 20th century.
This specific painting places itself in a crucial year for the artist's career: 1951 is in fact the year of his first participation in the historic Verona Biennale. The figurative works of this initial phase bear witness to Degani's transition from academic training (under Guido Trentini at the Scuola Cignaroli) toward the subsequent mature avant-garde that would see him as a protagonist from the 1960s with spatial and plastic experiments.
An element of exceptional value: 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 period 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 a valid reason for complaints or order cancellations.
