Springtime
A young woman at the window with a concentrated gaze is the central figure of this painted table executed by Giarrizzo who emphasises the suspended atmosphere in which she is immersed by employing neat silhouettes and wide colour spreads. The overlapping of the framing and the window enhances the effect of the ‘painting inside the painting’ with a strong visual impact. By purchasing the painting, the Gallery of Modern Art provided a sort of official recognition of the painter from Palermo who witnessed an increase in the number of exhibitions throughout Italy.
