Description.
In the painting "Sicilian landscape" by Mario Bardi, belonging to the artistic movement of Magic Realism, as in many of his landscapes from this period, "color hints at perspectives and depth, revealing the anguish of a Sicily tormented by events and calamities.".
Bardi is in the representation of Baroque Sicily, of its domes overloaded with decorations and yet so light as to be able to hover in the air, of the goose-breasted balconies or the palaces of the historic center that the memory of Bardi becomes more intense, surreal and almost hypnotic . The scarlet red skies attract the eye that never tires of discovering on small canvases overlaps of baroque architecture, spirals and twisted columns, sharp geometric surfaces or sweet curves, hatched with the skilful hand of the engineer-artist.
