About the Item
"Naviglio", White, ochre, and blue. Constructivist, abstract landscape.
Mixed media on wood panel.
Measures: 84.5 x 74.5 x 3 cm.
In inches: 33.27" x 29./33". x 1.18"
"Naviglio" fits within a contemporary aesthetic that blends elements of concrete art, arte povera, and utopian architecture. The artist creates a monochromatic low relief, where forms appear to be carved or molded directly into the surface—evoking unearthed fragments of a forgotten civilization.
Color use is minimal but deeply intentional: a single strip of vivid blue runs horizontally across the composition. This gesture calls to mind artificial canals or water lines found on old maps—possibly referencing the Naviglio system of canals in Italy, which may be the inspiration for the piece’s title. This blue channel serves as a symbolic axis: it connects, divides, and breathes life into a composition that, without it, might feel static or barren.
The rough textures and incised forms reference the archaeological, the industrial, and the urban all at once. There is no direct figuration, yet the marks evoke stairs, passages, doors, pathways, and ruins. Castagna appears to be building a topography of memory, an abstract cartography where emotion and rationality intersect.
Stylistically, the work suggests a sculptural language (made by artists such as Louise Nevelson, Jorge Oteiza, or even Antoni Tàpies). However, Castagna brings a unique sensitivity by giving prominence to emptiness, visual silence, and restrained gesture. The artwork doesn’t shout—it suggests. It doesn’t illustrate—it evokes.
In essence, this piece is a visual meditation on space, history, and the passage of time. The blue line introduces not only a chromatic break but also a poetic dimension—it could represent water, a horizon, or a scar. It is the key that transforms a structure into a map and a map into a story.

Venice Canal, Italy, circa 1950-55
Oil on canvas
24 x 24 inches
Signed lower center
Provenance:
Private Collection, Massachusetts
The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Galerie Felix Vercel.
Claude Venard was a notable exponent of the French mid-century post-Cubist movement. He was born to bourgeois parents from Burgogne in Paris, on March 21, 1913. At the age of 17, he enrolled and attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, but remained for only two days, not adhering to the school's academic style. Instead, he spent the following six years at the École des Arts Appliqués, taking evening classes and embracing the contemporary Parisian art scene, all the while becoming recognized in its circles.
Not able to support himself as an artist, by 1936 he found employment as a restorer at the Louvre, further honing his artistic skills.
Paris of the period was dominated by an art trend that strongly favored abstraction. Following a group show at the Galerie Billet-Worms in 1935, art critic Waldemar George declared: "Let's be young again! Painting is not dead… Its course has not stopped. Forces Nouvelles is born."
Venard contributed and initially adhered to the strict disciplines of the Forces Nouvelle group. But as with many of his fellow members, he soon abandoned it seeking individual expression.
Following WWII, Venard rekindled friendships with past Forces Nouvelles members, joining Pierre Tal-Coat, André Marchand, André Civet...
