Description : Tre figure
Oil painting on canvas. Signed lower left. On the back there is a stamp of the historic Galleria Palmieri in Milan (now no longer existing). The work proposes the typical characters of Franz Borghese';s satirical painting: these are figures that recall, in gestures and clothes, the subjects of 1910, portrayed with almost caricatured, sarcastic features and poses. Borghese's production in fact, after an initial period characterized by a dark and deep, almost dramatic painting, from the 1700s turns into a painting of satire and sarcasm, accentuated by a bright chromatic palette, which aims in particular at the bourgeoisie of the turn of the century. The three figures in this work, two men and a lady, are depicted sideways as they walk in single file in their elegant street clothes: the serious expressions, the distant gazes, seem to underline mutual indifference, as well as the boredom and vacuity of their life, which contrast with the bright and lively colours. The work is presented in a frame.

Additional Information
Artist: Franz Borghese (1941-2005)
Born in Rome in 1941, Franz Borghese began to paint from the years of art school; in 1964 he founded the group and the homonymous magazine "Il Ferro di Cavallo" and in 1968 he held his first solo show. However, his success with Franz Borghese only took place from 1970 onwards, after a first exhibition at the Calibro in Rome and frequenting the Caffè Fassi where he met various chess players who would later be the protagonists of his paintings. Precisely the works of 1970, in fact, express the true art of Franz Borghese, with satirical and ironic representations of the bourgeoisie of the beginning of the century and the abandonment of the dark atmospheres of the first years of activity. His pictorial style is characterized by a bitter vein towards human weakness and by characters that recall the history of the beginning of the century. In the 70s Borghese also met Salvatore Fiume, with whom he painted together, in 1975, The condemnation of Christ; in the same period Borghese also began to devote himself to sculpture. Since then he began a long series of personal exhibitions in Italy and abroad, which made the painter's fame grow nationally and internationally until his premature death on December 16, 2005. Age:

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
