FRANCESCO CLEMENTE
Place of Power I
1989
Courtesy :
Collection of Museo Madre, donation of the artist
The paintings of the series Place of Power of 1989 are only partly inspired by the funerary chambers of the Valley of the Kings, that the artist visited in 1986. Made up of geometric
and ornamental elements, they are more suggestive of a field of forces than of a specific place, a feature borrowed from the Abstract and Informal tradition of the post World War II period. They bear no reference to reality, except for the presence of an ornamental element, which in Place of Power I can be identified with one of the candelabra that adorned the frescoes housed in the Augustan villa of Agrippa Postumus in Boscotrecase, near Pompeii. The villa, destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD and brought back to light in the early XX century, was in fact decorated in the socalled third Pompeian style or “candelabra style” (the original fresco is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York).
