De Pisis 26
Beginning in 1925, De Pisis moved to Paris and focused on Impressionist research into the use of light and color, without, however, abandoning the memory of metaphysical atmospheres: Natura morta marina con gli scampi and Natura morta marina con la pavoncella date back to those early Parisian years, where the objects, torn from their natural environment, express the sense of abandonment and estrangement that pervaded the artist; the formulation of his very personal painting style, characterized by an airy, delicate “stenographic” writing, made up of rapid brush touches spread over light backgrounds in which the raw canvas, almost devoid of imprimitura, is visible, can already be appreciated at this date.
