Il tulipano e la luna by Giovanni Rossi - 60cm x 80cm

"This is the most poetic painting of the entire session. A yellow tulip against a mauve background, accompanied by a red moon or sun—and around it, this swirling green forest that serves as a living frame, almost an arm. The dotted red border that separates the two spaces is a detail of absolute finesse—it's a quotation of the frame, a frame within a frame, as if the painter wanted to say: look, here the dream begins. One thinks of Klee for the learned naiveté, of Séraphine de Senlis for the solitary and intense flower. The tulip doesn't grow—it appears, it is summoned."
