Filosofo. Oil on cardboard. Signed at lower right.
From a private collection in Pavia.
The painting proposes a subject repeatedly taken up by Primo Carena, either with groups of several figures set in a landscape or with a solitary figure as appears in this painting, which belongs to the production of the 1950s.
The man on the beach, in the seated pose leaning with his elbow on a marble capital, and in the drape resting on his legs, recalls the elderly seated figure in a work by De Chirico , the Greeting of the Argonauts, and well implies the reference to metaphysical painting that the painter wanted to express in his figure paintings of the 1950s-60s.
The work is presented in a period frame.
