Besides in the neo-expressionistic period in which for Emilio Giuseppe Dossena the form does not have the relevance shown in the rest of his works, his pictorial style, although changing over the years, has retained certain characteristics, which are the faithful reproduction of his impressions and feelings of the moment, the faithful and effective realistic representation of the subject and the pictorial challenge of color. This allows us to recognize his landscapes almost immediately for their originality, especially the color, which is the essence of his artistic expression.Dossena painted a variety of landscapes, from the soft valleys of Umbria to the centenary trees of Lombardy, from the cliffs of Liguria to the Alpine huts of Piedmont, from the gypsy caravans to the circus encampment, and each time he reproduced his sensations together with the painted subject realistically and honestly.This book offers the opportunity to compare his landscape works throughout his long artistic career.
