Giovanni Colacicchi Paintings
1900-1992
The origins of Giovanni Colacicchi are tied to a rather important family: his grandmother Germana was a descendant of Caetani della Torre (in fact the artist signed his first works with the double surname Colacicchi Caetani) while his grandfather was the painter Scipione Vannuttelli. The radically catholic environment in which he grew up and the classical studies undertaken in his youth were fundamental, permitting him, in fact, a profound knowledge of religious texts and developing in him a strong interest in literature which accompanied him throughout his entire career.
Of Latium origins, he approached painting after his move to Florence in 1916 entering into contact with Garibaldo Cepparelli, Raffaello De Grada and frequenting the Caffe Giubbe Rosse, meeting place for the intellectual elite, where he met the man he would deem his real master, Francesco Franchetti. Many were his suggestions regarding painting, which ranged from Renaissance artists to Futurists, from Cézanne to Hans von Marées.
Colacicchi was endowed with a multifaceted personality and was always in search of new stimuli, engaging himself in various cultural and social activities. He took part, in fact, in many exhibitions in Italy and abroad, taught at the Academy of Fine Arts and many times fought in defense of the art and of its respect. He maintained friendships with prominent personalities in the art world and critics including Giorgio De Chirico, Libero Andreotti, Renato Guttuso, Carlo Del Bravo and Bernard Berenson, but also of literature like Giuseppe Ungaretti and Eugenio Montale. This inclination of his towards writing, manifested already in adolescence with his choice of a classical high school, accompanied the entire lifetime of Colacicchi, he dedicated himself also to poetic activity and founded in 1924 “La Rivista di Firenze” and in 1926 “Solaria”.to

View from the Train: Cityscape Oil Painting, View of Brooklyn

24" X 40" x 1", oil on canvas
This contemporary oil painting depicting a metropolitan view is the work of realist painter Patty Neal. The painting offers an intimate view of the city, as seen from a window, as it peeks from behind two metal structures. The dark browns and bright golds beautifully compliment the dusty blue, gray sky. Neal works highlight everyday city scenes, utilitarian infrastructure, and industrial or electrical apparatus.
Artist statement:
A life is an accumulation of experiences: visual, emotional and mental. By compartmentalizing these snippets of life we create boundaries. The focus of my work for many years has been the exploration of these various life aspects and how they are bound together or bound from each other. My process is often literally composed of boundaries. I make a painting by putting together multiple panels, or I segment a single panel into separate visual spaces. The works are made up of pieces or elements of city and landscape. While exploring the concepts of boundaries I play with visual “reality.” Sometimes I combine images that are upside down with those that are not and juxtapose images from different contexts. Literal boundaries, such as walls fences, expanses of water and highway median strips are also used. My intent is to invite viewers to look beyond these boundaries to see the possibilities of a connected whole.
