The four paintings proposed here in the catalog represent a new and significant
contribution to the "corpus" of Oscar Ghiglia"s works; belonged to a well-known family
Florentine, linked to the painter since the time of his stay in Castiglioncello, are
remained practically unknown until today.
Still life with violin was known, until today, only through an image
in b/w reproduced in the catalog of the personal exhibition of the three Ghiglias held at
Pesaro Gallery (Fig.4), where the painting was exhibited in February 1929.
Executed around the mid-1920s, this beautiful still life belongs to the
alongside fundamental works such as Old Poncho (Fig.5) and The Chinese Woman (Fig.6)
(also present at the Milanese Exhibition) for the similar organization of the
perspective score, strongly shortened by means of the raised point of view on the
diagonal of the table, in a phase of creative fertility that allows Ghiglia to give life
to highly complex works, often large in size, conceived as architectural works
objects suspended in an astonished atmosphere, yet throbbing with the electric motility of
color.
From an autograph scroll affixed to the frame we learn that the painting was sold by
Ghiglia to the collector Enrico Checcucci, his dear friend and promoter of the exhibition
of "29, for which he wrote the introductory note to the catalogue.
