This Cilfone painting was featured in our weekly email on 6/13/14 along with the following gallery comments:
Gianni Cilfone was a Chicago/Park Ridge, IL-based artist who was a frequent visitor to Nashville, IN and exhibitor in the Hoosier Salon where he won four awards over a ten year period. In addition to his largely landscape output, he was a teacher and frequent lecturer on painting technique. There is an excellent article in Palette Talk, by Cilfone in which he discusses his technique in depth. This week’s Painting of the Moment, The Gardeners, is a fantastic example of his work. A classic scene, hands working in the field, rendered in representative Cilfone style – very loose and impressionistic. The painting is in flawless condition and has been re-presented in a period reproduction frame (original frame is available though kinda weird). Cilfone’s title and date (1978) appear verso and also on the backing from the original set-up (included with the piece). In addition, an original studio label listing awards and distinctions is included. We’ve had many nice Cilfone pieces over the years and though small, this ranks up there with the best of them. A wonderful composition and such classic subject matter all brought to bear with Cilfone’s masterful approach to painting.
