OLD WATERCOLOUR PAINTING Work by Maestro Gaetano Pancaldi (1922-2014) Piumazzo from Castelfranco Emilia (Modena) — VINTAGE WATERCOLOR PAINTING by Gaetano Pancaldi (1922-2014) Piumazzo of Castelfranco Emilia , Italy DESCRIPTION Subject: landscape from the countryside, signed Support and technique: watercolor on cardboard Author: Gaetano Pancaldi (Piumazzo of Castelfranco Emilia, 1922-2014). The representation of nature and everyday life were among the artist’s favourite subjects, and he was very active and well-known in the Modena area due to his work as a poster designer for the Communist Party of Modena and the numerous exhibitions he held. A tireless painter, Pancaldi worked with unchanged passion until his last years. Our company has acquired the entire Pancaldi archive, visit our eBay store to see all available paintings. Era: 1950/70 Origin: Emilia-Romagna Conditions: excellent Measures: 31 x 19.5 cm Gaetano Pancaldi he is a poet of microcosms, of distant and now forgotten worlds, of peasant and village atmospheres relived with naivety and sincere passion, with the eyes full of wonder and curiosity of the children of the past. He brings back to life the rites of the countryside, the patient work of the oxen, the timeless gestures of the farmers and housewives, the rustic and welcoming environments in which the foods had unrepeatable flavours and the stories were born to become proverbs and nursery rhymes to be passed down for centuries. Paintings in which the colours and lights rediscover the clarity of distant springs, the joy of swallows’ flights and the harvesters’ songs, atmospheres in which the falling of snow at Christmas or the blossoming of roses in May were magical events, long desired as if they were happening for the first time. On the other hand, he tried to render the hysteria of the contemporary world, without joy and without wonder, where the rhythm of actions is programmed in places alien to man and his nature, unnatural, therefore, and almost cruel. The contrast is dramatic, the effect impressive even if more technical and, so to speak, forced. Pancaldi ‘s true inspiration is the lost world of processions and threshing, of stables and threshing floors shining with golden chaff, of chicks following hens along rows ploughed by the toil of spades and hoes. There is a sense of the harshest toil in his paintings, and of the simplest and purest joy.
