Description : Decorazione pittorica di ante di armadio

Oil on wooden table. Signed on the first lower right door. It is the pictorial decoration of the eight doors of a wardrobe, made to measure for the client's family, which make up a large abstract scene - almost a scenography! - in very delicate pastel colors, in which deconstructed, dreamy, floating figures are glimpsed. Giorgio Bellandi, born in Milan in 1931, was a very talented set painter. Passionate about art from a very young age, he attended the Brera Academy and became an active part of the Milanese artistic environment of those years. Bellandi worked as a set designer at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan and made his debut as a painter in the 1950s by joining the existential realism, a very active artistic movement in Milan in the second half of the 1950s, becoming one of the exponents of this current. Existential Realism was originally based on the search for something different, an alternative both to informal painting and to the effects of existentialism, especially political, which had taken hold due to the damage caused by World War II. Ideologically these artists had in common the refusal towards authoritarianisms and towards social and political conformisms, in an environment that was generally oriented to the left. Bellandi is an artist gifted with talent and creativity, a lover of freedom of expression and beauty, and performs works of interesting reading with intense but harmonious chromatic tones. Passionate about Lake Como, he often came to the Lario in search of relaxation and inspiration. In '64 he participated in the Venice Biennale and in '65 he was invited to the IX Quadriennale in Rome. Very active painter, he realizes many exhibitions in national and international territory, until his illness which unfortunately was fatal to him, in 1976. It is possible to carry out the intervention of detachment of the doors from the cabinet from the structure and their reassembly on a unitary panel.
