CONTEMPORARY ART
Artistic sketches by Cesare Catania
“The Artistic Sketch is that part of the heart thought about but not yet metabolized…”
(Cesare Catania)
In this section you will find part of the artistic sketches of the Italian artist Cesare Catania. The artistic sketch is thought of by the author as the first real work of art referring to the theme that inspired it, and is therefore in all respects a real work like the paintings and sculptures.
CULTURAL INSIGHT
The "Sketches" exhibition
Before discovering Cesare Catania’s most important sketches, we want to underline that these expressive forms are so important for the Italian artist that he decided to dedicate a contemporary art exhibition to them. This is a way to consolidate his conviction regarding the centrality of the Artistic Sketch compared to the author’s poetics.
In this exhibition, the individual sketches are placed side by side with the relevant main works of art, precisely in order to be able to appreciate the similarity and the peculiar characteristics of both.
“…a sketch is never a waste… It is simply the photograph of the evolution of an artist’s thoughts and feelings…”
(Cesare Catania)
The Complete Collection of Artistic Sketches by Cesare Catania
“… when we think of an artistic sketch we often think of a sketch on a sheet of paper which, once the work of art it generated is finished, loses its value. The fact of thinking that the sketch was surpassed by the work of art to which it refers is certainly an error. The work of art must first of all be the representation and expression of the feelings of an artist and the sketch therefore, by its very definition, is the most. high and genuine form of expression of the author’s feelings, the first graphic trait that translates “black on white” the thoughts and emotions of those who produce it…”
