Via
Pietro Tacchini, Roma ,"Paesaggio", 1947
oil on canvas, 6/6 (possibly refers to the number of paintings
of this scene),
19.25" x 15.5"
Albert Alcalay (1917-2008)
A strong perspective, diagonal walls and roadside
fences, leads us through this town on Via Pietro Tacchini. Our eye
is drawn from the foreground back to the white building in the middledistance,
then back into space by the soaring cream clouds on blue sky. Our
path through the painting is 'stabilized,' along the way, by the
horizontals, often accentuated by black lines, demarking roof tops
as we proceed through this crowded section of town. Once again, the
bold staccato lines, strong diagonals, geometric shapes, and strong
color provide an energy that is then carried out further in the romantic
movement of the sky. This is a fine example of Albert Alcalay's early
expressionist paintings, before coming to the U.S.
