Porto delle galere 1964

"Porto delle galere," meaning "Harbor of Galleys," was painted in 1964 by the Italian artist Afro (1912–1976). This abstract work showcases Afro's signature style, using bold, gestural brushstrokes in a vibrant palette of red, yellow, and black. The dynamic composition suggests a sense of movement and energy, perhaps evoking the bustling activity of a harbor. The work, while abstract, is still suggestive of a scene or space. Afro's use of color and form in this work, along with the title, "Porto delle galere," hints at the artist's interest in capturing the visual essence of a specific place or scene.
