Description : Scorcio veneziano

Oil on hardboard. Signed and dated lower right. The painting is part of the realist production of the 1930s-1940s by Pino Ponti, a Venetian artist who trained at the Academy with Virgilio Guidi. In this phase, his painting proposes an apparently light and improvised representation of reality, which is instead studiously elaborated and ambiguous. After the war, in which Pino Ponti participates as a partisan, his painting becomes dramatic, of denunciation, characterized by the presence of sparse forms, but pervaded by a certain restlessness and grotesque accents. The painting is presented in a frame.
