SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture
Giuseppe Barison (1853-1931) was a Trieste born, Italian painter and engraver. A grant, from the local municipality allowed him to spend two years in Rome. The Roman stay placed him in academic and classy stiffness. The world was moving to more lively art, but he remained bound to the 19th C traditions. His early paintings included horses, historical compositions and military themes, though all rendered with care and precision.
Barison, in his paintings, did not show any extra ordinary effort, except depicting the truthful reality. His art had a feeling of peace and serenity. In Venice, he portrayed the small squares and narrow lanes. These scenes had good scenic composition and extra ordinarily placed human figures. The exile period during the WW-I, allowed him to paint coastal areas.
The coastal and marine art began to
detach him from the academic stiffness. He
gained a naturalistic flavour. He also began
to draw portraits. This brought out the best
of his talents.
