AUTHOR’S AND PAINTING’S NEWS:
Giovanni Bertoluzzo was born in Carmignano di Brenta in 1938, has lived and worked in Fontaniva where he ran an art gallery which was as a meeting point for poets and painters of various cultural groups and associations in the Veneto region. The artist has exhibited many of his works in the most important exhibitions of national and international (Rovigo, Belluno, Turin, Frankfurt, Paris, etc …). He is one of the most representative painters dell’Ideovisivismo veneto. Its works are a tribute to his hometown area, the Brenta’s area, the river which crosses some Venetian provinces: glimpses particular, the life along the river, the relationship with the nature of the campaign. Sometimes, painting solitary corners, he witnessed the extraordinary survival of places not yet subject to the domination of man. But in “Hunting” you get the idea of men’s life through one of the most ancient and primitive human activities. With the hunt man uses nature to survive. At the center there is a dog trained to hunt game, which takes between the mouth as soon as the prey killed, presumably a quail. There is a natural frame of the forest, the thin trunks of some trees, shrubs and dry leaves illuminated by a light radially from the bottom.
