About the Item

Fabulous 1989 (the way III) landscape original one-of-a-kind acrylic painting on linen canvas by artist Alberta Cifolelli. Hand signed by the artist on the lower right front and titled on the back. "The Way" is a significant piece within Cifolelli's "Ways series," which explores choices and paths in life through metaphorical imagery. The painting is a vibrant and colorful landscape that captures a lively natural scene, likely a lakeside or riverside setting. Features a clear blue body of water, likely a lake or river, occupying the lower right and curving left towards the background that is dominated by a variety of vibrant trees and shrubs, creating a rich tapestry of greenery under a clear, bright sky. A key characteristic is Cifolelli's signature use of vivid and unrealistic color, which infuses the scene with energy and a sense of imaginative fantasy. The blues of the water are intense, contrasting with the warm and cool tones of the vegetation, which includes shades of red, purple, berry, pink, green, yellow, and orange. The brushwork appears loose and expressive. The painting is housed in a giltwood frame with a natural color linen liner, which adds depth and a classic touch. It has a relatively simple, yet elegant profile with a gently curved outer edge and a smooth surface, This layering technique protects the artwork and enhances its visual appeal by adding to its presentation and drawing the viewer's eye towards the piece. This unique painting is a breathtaking piece of collectible art. Alberta Cifolelli (1931-2022) was an accomplished American painter and printmaker, known for her vibrant and personal artistic style. Her work spanning over six decades, often explored themes of nature and introspection, using symbolic and metaphoric forms to connect with the viewer on a deeper level. She was a prolific artist, preferred to work directly on the canvas without preparatory sketches, creating spontaneous and improvisational pieces. She participated in over 50 one-person shows nationally, including exhibitions in New York City and a retrospective at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center. Received various grants and awards, including the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, and GE Fund grants. Honored as one of 18 Distinguished Alumni by the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2017. Her painting "Cleavage" is part of the permanent collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
