Oil painting on canvas depicting still life of fish and shells, C. Molino (Catania 1908-1984) .Cm 50x60 framed 72x83 cm. Signed on the bottom center
C. 52. Carmelo Molino Molino, born in Catania in 1908, is a complete artist in the art scene of the twentieth century Sicily. Not just a painter and art lover, but also a poet of his country and its traditions. Pier Paolo Pasolini for his book "Poetry Dialect of the twentieth century", defines an artist with a moderate modernity within the panorama of Italian literature. His poetic production crosses and influences the painting characterized by a drive towards surrealism and symbolism expressed by means of a painting material and the fast sign. The abandonment of the subject is, however, never allowing Total to recognize in his works often the themes of nature, the sea and the countryside, symbols of a strong link with the Mediterranean culture. The pictorial sign is not defined, the boundaries are abandoned in favor of bright colors and painting almost comes to life through the accentuated brightness. He exhibited at the "Gallery of Rome" in Catania, get an entire room dedicated to his works during the nineteenth Promoter of 1948 and also takes part in several exhibitions around Italy, including the Quadrennial in Rome from 1951 to 1952 where will present the work Marina di Trezza.
