Le quattro stagioni 1965

Editor: Right, next up we have Galliano Mazzon's "Le quattro stagioni" from 1965, made with acrylic paint on paper. I'm struck by how bold and almost playful the shapes and colours are – it’s like a geometric garden! What jumps out at you when you look at this piece? Curator: Well, darling, it tickles my fancy, this little dance of shapes and colours. To me, it feels like a map of the mind, you know? Mazzon’s use of simple geometric forms – the circles, the triangles, the squares – they're not just shapes; they're little vessels carrying our emotions. Do you ever feel like you could rearrange the shapes to create a completely new world? I do! Editor: I hadn't thought of it that way, but I can see how the geometric forms act as emotional containers, or something. But how does the title, "The Four Seasons," tie into all of this abstraction? Curator: Ah, that's the delightful mystery, isn't it? Perhaps Mazzon wasn't trying to give us a literal representation of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Instead, maybe he’s capturing the feeling of change, the constant flux and flow of life. You could say each shape represents a feeling or an element associated with a particular season, but abstract and intensified. A circle of summery joy! A melancholic purple square for autumn. Or not! What do you think? Editor: I see, it's like he’s boiled down the essence of each season into its simplest form, which actually fits the Pop Art style really well. It is cool to imagine the possibilities. Curator: Exactly! It’s about feeling, not just seeing. Editor: Definitely gives me something to think about – thanks! Curator: My pleasure, my dear. Keep questioning, keep feeling, and keep those artistic gears turning.
