Still life in clear tones

Facciotto's sensitivity is combined with his subtly innovative capacity. Thus, a seemingly trivial list of objects placed on a white tablecloth turns into a curious review of things that interact with each other through light. In the foreground, fruit and bread, the only elements appearing completely covered in defined colors. Towards the horizon of the large tablecloth, glasses, cups, a half-filled bottle, a plate adorned with a gentle decoration. Facciotto was a member of the Chiarismo movement: in fact, an almost dazzling white triumphs, with shades of gray, blue, and a soft red. It is very difficult to create art by using white on a white surface. And yet, the work creates a strong and sincere effect: as if written on a blank page, every detail acquires value and finally triumphs.
