Still life and living nature

In this splendid and great work, Vindizio, who has already entered in the most mature phase of his art, shows us two girls who try to raise the big pumpkins that stand out above their flowered dresses. Vindizio frequented Paris for a long time, and here he learned not only the lesson of impressionism but also that of post-impressionism, to which he was always linked. His art exalts the liveliness of the daily appearance, even if resigned and provincial. In this sense, painting always wins and shows how powerful it is to create an image that moves away from its subject to reach our eye in the happy freedom of an invention.
