Domenico Gnoli

“paintings of classic, somber furniture in warm tones and greasy haired-men. What could be better?”

“Levy Gorvy will present a massive show of Domenico Gnoli (1933–1970) paintings March 18th; I would fly to New York just to see this. “Lingering over the scalloped hem of a blouse, the knot of a necktie, or a groomed hairline, Gnoli captured the mannerisms of postwar Italy. His uncanny style brings together a disenchanted gaze and a fetishism for craftmanship and adornment.””

“Amazing Italian artist, previously unknown to me!”

“This exhibition is popular and for good reason! Gnoli's works are playful, inspiring, and meticulous. I love how he translated small observations to large canvases.”
