Description : Parigi
Oil (mixed) on canvas. Signed and dated lower right. Further signature, title, technique and declaration of authenticity on the back. Mario Cortiello, a Neapolitan painter who was a pupil of Gennaro Villani and later a friend and collaborator of Umberto Lilloni, participated with his own personal style in the renewal of Neapolitan painting, without straying from tradition. Endowed with fertile invention and remarkable representative capacity, he left behind a rich and varied production. Landscape or urban views are recurring in his production, populated by numerous figures, often, in the Neapolitan setting, by Pulcinella, depicted floating on dreamlike backgrounds, so much so that he is defined as the Neapolitan Chagall. In this work the setting is in Paris, which he often portrayed in glimpses of city life full of color and animation. The work is presented in a frame.

Additional Information
Artist: Mario Cortiello (1907-1982)
Born in Naples in 1907, Mario Cortiello was initially self-taught, then he was a pupil of Gennaro Villani from whose ways he broke away after meeting Umberto Lilloni, who brought him closer to the Lombard Chiarism. Later he reached a personal style, with notes that bring him closer to the naive style, managing to renew Neapolitan painting without departing from tradition. He was admitted to the Venice Biennale at the age of twenty, in which he then participated until the 1942 edition, holding two personal exhibitions in the 1936 and 1940 editions. He also exhibited at the Roman quadriennials and in various European cities. His works are present in numerous Italian museums including the Ricci Oddi Modern Art Gallery in Piacenza.

Artistic technique: Painting
La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
