Alessandro Pomi, Figurative Scene, Oil on Board

Oil on hardboard. Signed lower right.The Venetian artist Alessandro Pomi dedicated himself above all to seascapes and scenes with figures, linked in particular to Venetian life (fishermen, but also characters on the beach, on a walk, in meeting places), so as well as the testimonies of the first cultural development of Mestre and the birth of institutions essential for public life, such as theater and cinema. After his long stay in the United States - so much so that he was defined as the American painter of Mestre - Pomi's figures were influenced by modern American painting. His painting is characterized above all by the chromatic and light effects, which strike and make the figures and landscapes stand out, giving them a bodily expressiveness, despite the faces without somatic features. The work is presented in a frame.
