About the Item

Artist: Amilcare Casati Title: The Seer Medium: oil on canvas Signature: Signed lower right “A. Casati 1919” Amilcare Casati (Forlì, 1895 – 1961), a painter known above all for his work as a portraitist, expresses himself through a highly personal Divisionism in The Seer, a painting from 1919. The divided touch, in this canvas with its sibylline character, is rendered through very fine horizontal hatching that allows the painter to organise a refined play of chiaroscuro and to make the darkness of the background shine with mysterious flashes emanating from the warm light of the lamp. A synthetic formalism envelops the inscrutable and solitary figure of the seer, revealing surprising points of contact with Aleardo Terzi’s Divisionism, but also with the linear and “mystical” sign of the Ligurian painter Sexto Canegallo. From the Brera Triennale of 1891, where Divisionism officially showed its first revolutionary results starting from the canvases of the generation of Giovanni Segantini, Giuseppe Pellizza, Gaetano Previati and Angelo Morbelli, under the theoretical guidance of Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, it then spread regionally, following different declinations and styles, until the 1920s. “The expression of feelings that move the soul” is one of the characteristic features of Italian Divisionism, and the trait that distances it from the positivist scientism of French Pointillisme, firmly anchored in the pictorial application of the principles of optics. The transport for the concept of vision more than for the analytical view, the interest in the social question and the search for the ideal and the symbol within the real datum are a fundamental part of the Divisionist koinè, both of the historical generation and of the subsequent proliferations. Pure colours, complementary and not amalgamated, but juxtaposed next to each other in the form of long filaments, small imperceptible touches or dowels more or less loaded with pictorial matter, all fit into the general formula of “divided brushstroke”, even though they present strong stylistic differences.
