MASP

By Luciano Migliaccio and Luiz Marques
An extreme example of the use of material effects in the artist’s work – Winter Landscape (Garage) –, the maritime scene is composed of an uninterrupted chromatic texture, where the interpenetration of sky and sea abolishes the horizon without interfering with the effect of profound depth, which is obtained not by perspective, but by the juxtaposition of dark and light hues, following a method often used by Van Gogh, and before him, by Monticelli. The painting Village Road, dated some time after Seascape with Sailboats is based on a contrary conception to the latter, emphasizing the avoidance of right angles, which, however, fall apart as in an expressionist scene in the manner of the village of Calligari.

— Luciano Migliaccio and Luiz Marques, 1998
