The early phases of Domenico Gnoli's artistic development took place during the early 1950's when the painting of informel was a major influence. Experiencing a certain sense of dissatisfaction and conscious of Italy's long tradition of figurative painting, Gnoli soon began to investigate the human figure more fully, countering emotionally- determined abstract painting with simple objective presences. Seeking to once again lend a greater pictorial quality to the world of objects, early on he selected the motifs of his pictures from his own surroundings, and from the mundane: a woman reading a paper, a youth resting at a table. Both do not appear as individuals but symbolically represent a person in that particular situation. The pictorial concept is reduced to the fundamental level, and universal content. Gnoli's paintings do not address the transitory but confront the viewer with the object and its very own autonomous pictorial reality (Dominico Gnoli 1933-1970. Gemälde, Skulpturen, Zeichnungen, Druckgraphik, Kunsthalle Bremen, 1981: from a text by Anette Meyer zu Eissen).
