Carne e vestito 2007

"Carne e vestito" (2007), by Italian artist Enzo Cucchi, is an expressive oil painting on canvas. The painting depicts a small, nude figure in the bottom left corner of the composition, gathering pieces of a broken object. In the center, a large, yellow, ox-like creature stands on a ground plane that appears to be a desert landscape. Behind the ox, and at the top of the composition, is a series of flame-like forms. These forms, along with the broken object, the ox, and the small figure, suggest an element of the sublime and mythical. The painting captures the essence of Cucchi's artistic style with its vibrant colors, bold brushstrokes, and enigmatic imagery.
