The solar moments
The solar moments
 
The solar moments – if we include the suns, sunrises and sunsets – constantly appear in the pictorial life of Lucatello during the Friuli period. After the earthquake they return as an important exigency and testify the artist’s new positive approach to life. The true and proper solar moments occupy the whole of the rectangular or square canvases and seem to want to examine every detail of the light that creeps in and colours the earth. On the other hand the suns are round and aggressive, crinkled by red–hot matter, and go from orange to bright reds. The light that reveals the secret energy of the matter can also dazzle the sun to the point that it shatters into one sole trace, a trace which is circular and pure: white on white.
