🎨 Momento gris, 1913
by Walter Navazio 🇦🇷
Oil on canvas. 72 x 91 cm.
National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentine
About the artwork:
In "Momento Gris," Navazio likely explores a scene characterized by its muted tones and a sense of quietude or contemplation. The title suggests a focus on a particular moment captured in shades of grey, possibly depicting a cityscape, landscape, or an intimate indoor setting under overcast or twilight conditions. This setting would allow Navazio to explore different textures and nuances of light, even within a restricted color palette.
The composition would focus on creating a mood rather than detailing a narrative, with broad, expressive brushstrokes that emphasize the atmospheric effects of light and shadow. Navazio's technique would be adept at conveying the damp, heavy air of a grey day, perhaps with subtle hints of color to suggest fleeting moments of warmth or light breaking through the gloom. 4 replies
