Untitled 1953

This untitled painting was made by Guido Molinari. Just look at those big, brave strokes of color laying side by side! It's like Molinari wasn't trying to represent anything but pure, unadulterated color. And the texture—oh, the texture! You can practically feel the thickness of the paint, built up layer upon layer. It’s almost sculptural, a landscape of pigment. My eye is drawn to the lower right corner, where a fiery orange melds into a vibrant red, and you can see the individual marks that make up that beautiful transition. The way those colors collide and dance with each other. It reminds me a bit of Joan Mitchell’s raw energy, but with a uniquely Molinari twist. It's not just about what you see, but how you see, and how art can be an ongoing conversation between artists across time. This piece is a reminder that art is a journey, not a destination.
