Untitled 1953

This Guido Molinari painting, bursting with bold color, feels like a record of pure, unadulterated action. I imagine him slinging these reds, yellows, blues, greens, and whites, building up layers until the composition takes shape. It's so immediate! You can almost feel the energy of Molinari figuring out what to do next. Look at the way he uses the brushstrokes to create texture—thick, luscious strokes that make you want to reach out and touch the surface. It's like he's having a conversation with painters from the past and present, riffing on their ideas, pushing the boundaries of what paint can do. Molinari's conversation is now a gift to us. Painting is this ongoing conversation.
