“Of the Native – says Lotti – I was always attracted to the purity and cleanliness of his artistic work, its pure geometry, harmonics and asymmetries of the endless combinations of form and not least, its colors.”
An exhibition that pays homage to the artist but also an ideal tribute to Florentine art throughout the postwar period, tied to a different conception of art and having produced so far, of what to do – often silent – which remained, through maturity and seriousness of work in the annals of art history.
There are more than thirty works on show, mainly drawings and tempera on paper, on a path that follows a chronological order starting from the mid forties up to the late nineties, works spanning a large gap on the arc artistic creative Native with nearly sixty years of work. There is the art of Walter Native figurative drawings from the Tuscan-saturated, leading to a painting of European aristocracy still retained in the groove of painting that has marked the whole spectrum of artistic master Pistoia.
Works that testify to its varied iconographic type. And here, in this way, that unravels in the rooms of the Castello dei Vicari, we can see, year after year, much of its production. Exhibition catalog.
