Gastone Breddo (1915-1991) - Composizione in vaso con piatto

Splendid and emblematic oil-on-canvas composition by master Gastone Breddo, one of the most refined leading figures in Italian painting of the second half of the 20th century and a long-standing teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.

The painting reinterprets one of the artist’s favourite subjects: still life.
At the centre of the scene stands a white jug holding a vibrant bouquet of flowers, in which vivid reds and deep blues engage in perfect chromatic contrast.
Beside it, a stylised plate completes the coherent arrangement of objects.
What gives the work its great visual impact is the background: a complex, geometric division of space into areas of colour that oscillate between abstraction and figuration, characteristic of Breddo’s mature style.

The skilful use of warm tones such as ochre and brick red, set against the coolness of blue and black, gives the canvas extraordinary depth and unique chromatic dynamism.

The artist’s signature is present and clearly visible.
