Giudecca 795

(Ortona, 1892 – Milano, 1989) landscape artist "with a personal touch, at times mystical and also humorous” -- says the art critic Costantini -- a “crepuscolare” who loves the old ruined houses, convents, flowered meadows and peaceful corners that evoke memories. He has a preference for the evening shadows that he portrays with a special freshness.
Unlike much modern art that is enclosed in critical discourse, which is not exterior, but is an integrating part with no possibility to separate it and look at it as something in itself, the painting of Michele Cascella is there in the good and the bad, you can look at it as something in itself, with no spiritual conditioning or manipulation directed toward the initiated. His works last or will last over time for the beauty of their form, not for the notions they transmit.
