VINTAGE FROZEN
WATERCOLOR PAINTING
by Gaetano Pancaldi (1922-2014)
Modena, Italy
DESCRIPTION
Subject: female figure

Support and technique: watercolor on cardboard. Created with the "frost technique" to obtain the crystallized effect in some areas of the pictorial surface, this technique consisted of placing the still fresh painting in the actual cold and then working on it subsequently. This technique was created by the painter Pancaldi in the early 1960s and refined throughout his career until reaching the extraordinary results of the paintings of the 80s/90s.
Author: Gaetano Pancaldi (Piumazzo di Castelfranco Emilia, 1922-2014).
The representation of nature and daily life were among the artist's favorite subjects, who was very active and well-known in the Modena area due to his activity as a poster designer for the Communist Party of Modena and the numerous exhibitions he held. A tireless painter, Pancaldi worked with unchanged passion until recent years. Biography available on the internet or upon request.

Gaetano Pancaldi is a poet of microcosms, of distant and now worlds forgotten, of peasant and village atmospheres relived with naivety and sincere passion, with eyes full of wonder and curiosity children of the past. He brings back to life the rites of the countryside, the patient work of the oxen, the timeless gestures of the farmers and the housewives, the rustic and welcoming environments in which the foods had unrepeatable flavors and stories were born to become proverbs and nursery rhymes to be passed on for the ages.
Paintings in which the colors and the lights rediscover the clarity of distant springs, the joy of flights of swallows and the songs of the reapers, atmospheres in which to fall snow at Christmas or roses blooming in May were magical events they were long desired as if they were happening for the first time. For against him he tried to make the hysteria of the contemporary world, without joy and without wonder, where the rhythm of actions is programmed in places foreign to man and his nature, unnatural, therefore, and almost cruel. The contrast is dramatic, the effect impressive too if more technical and, so to speak, forced.
The true inspiration of Pancaldi is the lost world of processions and threshing, of stables and threshing floors shining with golden chaff, with the chicks that follow the hens along the rows tilled by the toil of the spade and the hoe. There is the sense of the harshest fatigue, in his paintings, and of simplest and purest joy.
(Valerio Massimo Manfredi)

Medium and painting surface: watercolor on paper painted with "Ice technique" that was invented by Pancaldi to obtain the ice effect in some part of the painting surface, this technique consists of literally freezing the fresh wet painting and subsequently work on it again. He used this technique starting from the early '60's and kept working on it for all his life until the extraordinary results of the 80's and 90's ice paintings.
