La Parvilles 1915

Francesco Cangiullo made 'La Parvilles' with ink on paper, and when I look at it, I think about how artists use the simplest marks to suggest something bigger. There's such economy in these lines, a kind of shorthand. A few lines become figures, maybe people, maybe buildings. It's like Cangiullo is sketching out an idea, a feeling, more than a literal place. I'm drawn to the way the lines intersect, creating these little pockets of space. Each mark feels deliberate, even though the overall effect is playful and loose. It reminds me a little bit of Paul Klee, that sense of reducing the world to its most essential forms. What I appreciate is its openness. It’s not trying to tell you exactly what to see, but inviting you to wander around in your own imagination.
