Appreciating Art

Ajmone – Piazza in Baveno (1924) – private collection

I came across this painting and I loved the strong color contrasts and vivid brushwork so I thought I’d share it today. I was also intrigued with the cold clear blues that somehow still convey the idea of a hot day full of sunlight. Man, it is really blasting on that white wall isn’t it!

Unfortunately, I can’t tell you alot about this artist. There isn’t much available on the internet or in any of my resource books. I do know that he was Italian and wrote a book called The Picture as the Experience of Emotion. However, I haven’t read it. Sometimes it’s just enough to pause, take a look and enjoy.
