EMANUELE CAVALLI

“What clearly distinguishes our painting from that which came before is significant.
Whilst in our work colour, in its tonal essence, yields light only through juxtaposition—it aims to be vibrant yet, I would say, opaque—in the painting that preceded us, light envelops and flows over the colours.
Our painting appears less haphazard and almost empty, at times skeletal.”

Emanuele Cavalli, diaries, 1944
