Raffaele Pucci - Still life painting with fruit, oil on canvas

Naturalness and frankness, concrete truth and tangible observation are the components of the creative activity that arise vividly and immediately when observing Raffaele Pucci's canvases. It is above all in the still lifes in those ancient branches, in the books, in the pears, in the grapes, in the compositions with terracotta subjects, vases, in the fennels where his lyrical realism flows more vigorously and the harmony of the compositions is exalted and sublimated, in a balance of volumes that lose their materiality, to become relationships of tones, chords, transparencies. Historical Notes: Raffaele Pucci Born on 18 October 1917 in Naples, he lived in San Giorgio a Cremano. He began his artistic activity in 1935 and since then has held personal exhibitions in various Italian cities.
