Sergio Vacchi , “Attention of flight,” Oil on canvas, signed, 1973

Beautiful painting by informal master Sergio Vacchi, depicting a flight of a seagull in an evocative, almost dreamlike landscape. On the left in the foreground instead we find the bird of paradise flower, its meaning is related to concepts such as freedom, joy and happiness.

BIOGRAPHY
Sergio Vacchi was an Italian painter, a master of the Informal movement and “one of the most significant voices of the 1920s generation” of the 20th century.
After a brief period in which he tried to recover, as he himself states, the lesson of Cézanne, painting woods, landscapes and scenes of Emilian life, in the late 1950s he approached Informal art for a few years. The stylistic turning point came in 1959 when he moved to Rome, where his painting, although still informal, increasingly approached the figurativeness that is proper to his work. His masters became the great European artists such as Marx Ernst, Otto Dix, Bacon, De Chirico, and his painting was strongly influenced by the expressionism born on the old continent but characterized by a highly original compositional and descriptive ability, and by painting in large and very large formats, according to a personal and suggestive conception of the world around him.
