"Paludia" est une huile sur toile réalisée par Eugène Berman entre 1967 et 1968 à Rome. L'œuvre, représentative de son style néo-romantique, est empreinte de mélancolie et de poésie, avec une touche onirique caractéristique de son approche théâtrale de la composition.
Son cadre troubadour en papier mâché, rare et datant de circa 1840, confère à l'œuvre une aura historique et une mise en valeur singulière, dans l'esprit des cabinets de curiosités qu'affectionnait l'artiste.
Biographie d'Eugène Berman (1899-1972) :
Né le 4 novembre 1899 à Saint-Pétersbourg, Eugène Berman est un peintre et décorateur de théâtre d’origine russe, naturalisé américain. Il est le frère de Léonide Berman.
Son éducation artistique débute en Europe occidentale, avec des formations en Allemagne, Suisse et France, où il suit les cours de Pavel Naumov et Sergey Gruzenberg entre 1914 et 1918. Après avoir quitté la Russie en 1918, il étudie à l'Académie Ranson à Paris, sous la direction de Maurice Denis et Édouard Vuillard.
Inspiré par Giorgio de Chirico et Picasso, il expose ses œuvres (portraits et paysages) aux Salons d’Automne et des Tuileries entre 1923 et 1927. Il promeut, aux côtés de son frère, une forme de peinture poétique et symboliste.
En 1935, il émigre aux États-Unis, où il travaille comme décorateur de théâtre tout en poursuivant son œuvre picturale. Il devient citoyen américain en 1937.
Il meurt le 14 décembre 1972, à Rome ou New York.
Cabinet de curiosités et collection personnelle :
Eugène Berman possédait une importante collection d’objets anciens, comprenant :
Céramiques, statuettes, sculptures, verrerie, textiles, tapis de diverses civilisations (précolombienne, africaine, de Nouvelle-Guinée, de Colombie-Britannique, égyptienne, copte, grecque, étrusque, romaine).
Mobilier italien et latino-américain du XVIe et XVIIe siècles.
Œuvres d’amis artistes, dont Mirko, Ernst, Cagli, Cremoni.
Sa collection fut installée dans un appartement romain, transformé en un véritable cabinet de curiosités, situé au dernier étage d’un palais proche de la Piazza del Popolo.
