Summer is a very present season in the works of the GAM. The Mediterranean landscape expresses all its vigor and strength in this season, so different at other altitudes.
Under a bright summer sky veiled by groups of clouds, Francesco Lojacono’s View of Palermo unfolds, describing the strength of the color of the Mediterranean garden of the famous Conca d’Oro, which gently slopes up to the coast of the city of Palermo and to its gulf, closed to the west by Monte Pellegrino.
A completely different summer in a completely different type of landscape is that of I Carusi. The large canvas-complaint by Onofrio Tomaselli who – in a merciless, arid and rocky landscape – describes the condition of child exploitation of the carusi of the sulfur mines, the children without rights who worked for the mining companies.
