Nino GiuffridaImpressionist Portrait of a Young Girl
About the Item
Mid century oil on canvas portrait of a young woman in a hat by Nino Giuffrida. The painting is signed centre right and is presented in a patinated wood frame.
This vibrant painting captures a young woman adorned in a striking hat with a wide brim accentuated by colourful flowers, reflecting an Impressionist influence. Her youthful, delicate face stands out with an expressive gaze, framed by cascading dark hair. The painter employs bold, textured brushstrokes, combining a lively palette of blues, pinks, and yellows to emphasize the floral motifs enveloping her. The background is an abstract blend of harmonious colours, enhancing the composition's ethereal quality. The intricate details of the flowers and gentle interplay of light across her face demonstrate the artist's mastery in conveying both realism and dreamlike charm. Framed in an elegant, rustic wood, the painting's presentation is both timeless and sophisticated, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its serene beauty. This work is a captivating blend of innocence and vibrancy, making it a truly enchanting piece.
Born in 1924 in Sicily, Nino attended the artistic high school in Catania at the age of 17 where he became friends with fellow painters including Pippo Aleo and Giovanni Calogero. At that time, he painted with passion everything he saw, landscapes, seascapes, still lifes.
After a first attempt to come to France with his friend Giovanni in 1948, Nino finally arrived at the Gare de Lyon on December 8, 1949 and settled in Montmartre in the same street as Picasso.
Picasso, for his part, drew the profile of the future Sicilian master: "In Art everything has been said, now you have to bring to every subject your own sensitivity and personality and you manage to do it well, especially in your children's characters, what will remain of you. But I think that your paintings will be recognized by your personal colours."
In the 1950s Nino starts painting Paris. Like many Montmartre artists of that time, while he painted all day, he moved in the evenings on the terraces of the cafés of Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés to transform himself into a portraitist and randomly sketch customers in restaurants. From then on, Nino devoted himself more and more to children's painting, which became his favourite theme of inspiration. Pierre Imbourg, journalist and art critic, wrote of him: "Montmartre, the land of little Poulbots, allowed him to record in his mind all these child's faces whose intensity of expression he tries to reproduce".
With the disappearance of art galleries in Montmartre, Nino decided to settle on the French Riviera, in Cannes and then in Vallauris. From 1952 onwards, his solo exhibitions followed one another and Nino became an international painter: Rome, Brussels, Chicago, Copenhagen, Helsingborg and Aüs in Sweden, in Geneva, in Kourou in Guyana... In Paris, he manages the Galerie de la Colonne, Place Vendôme, where he exhibits lithographs by Chagall, Dalì, Picasso and Mirò in addition to his own works. But he has also, for example, exhibited for a few years in Honfleur inspired by the landscapes of Boudin, Hamburg, Gernez, Monet...
