Aurora Volando 1933

Gerardo Dottori’s “Aurora Volando” looks like it was painted with oil or acrylic in many layers, as it is full of depth and luminosity. Imagine Dottori at his easel, mixing blues and greens to capture that dreamy atmosphere of an early morning. I can almost feel the cool air and the quiet anticipation of the sun rising. The paint application seems meticulous, with each brushstroke carefully placed to create the impression of movement and light. Those sharp, angular lines make me think of Italian Futurism, but the palette is so gentle. Dottori’s working in a conversation with artists like Balla and Severini, but he is finding his own way to represent speed, technology, and dynamism. It is clear he is exploring new ways of seeing and experiencing the world through paint!
