VINTAGE PAINTING
Work by Maestro Gaetano Pancaldi (1922-2014)
Piumazzo of Castelfranco Emilia (MO)
Detail of a watercolor painting on cardboard executed by the painter Gaetano Pancaldi (1922-1014) from Piumazzo di Castelfranco Emilia, the work in question is a suggestive and idealized view of Castelvetro di Modena, a place much loved by the author.
Created with the "frost technique" to obtain the ice 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 effect was invented by the painter Pancaldi and appears in many of his works starting from the 1960s.
The drawings and watercolors that we propose are an interesting testimony of the youthful and studious activity of the painter from Piumazzo di Castelfranco Emilia in which the constant effort to improve the technique can be observed. Particularly during the war period, the supports on which they were made were often waste paper due to limited means.
