PAOLA BELTRAME from Horses
with tender looking eyes among the portraits by Cavazzon – A journey beyond
women Women and horses: pride,
tenderness, and the force of elegance. Giovanni Cavazzon, the painter of women
and sensitive portraitist, has a surprise in store for the next edition of
“Paliodonna” in And here we have Elisa Gagliardi
Mangilli, noble and kindred to champions in this beautiful sport, beautiful
and good, at the center of one of Cavazzon’s works of art for “Paliodonna”.
Truly in the middle, in the sense that the portrait of this captain appears
among other portraits of marvelous horses. Yes, portraits. Each horse with
its own particular psychology. Tender and trustworthy eyes, cleverly docile
and proud. In Cavazzon’s portraits we cannot miss the “eyes” within which
there lie a relationship of authenticity with the person portrayed. We have
recently seen them at Colonos di Villacaccia. An art gallery portraying the
serene eyes of old age in the artist’s mother and those of Paola Borboni and
Gastone Moschin. These are portraits
“non-portraits”, for they avoid fixity of space and time. Instead of giving
away the context they are merely prompting it (a clear sign of Cavazzon’s
background in theater scenography). Doubles, quite often, between the smile
and the thoughtfulness of a child, between sulkiness and happiness; between
reality and its shadow. A cartoon game. Never an ambiguous double. On the
contrary, more authentic, even in their movements. Serenity and caring irony. Even
self-irony in the cumbersome “seal” present on each portrait (“Giovanni
Cavazzon Artefix”). Could this be in spite of those inconvenient purchasers
and of those pretentious critics? If it really is in spite, it is truly
insignificant, as love prevails in Cavazzon. |
