effect

  • "With his paintings and graphics, Cesare Marcotto stands in the tradition of informal painting [...] These expressive and spontaneous looking pictures are the result of a creative process that often lasts for weeks, in which the painter creates the picture from many layers, in an almost old-master manner. from the most varied of colors and with the most varied of painting techniques. This creates the differentiated effect of these paintings with their amazing luminosity and depth. "

(From the opening speech of the exhibition in Freinsheim on April 24, 1994 by Manfred Fath (then director of the Kunsthalle Mannheim)).

  • "His planetary landscapes such as" The Suns "or" Ricordi "can be seen as tachistic works. The colors have loosened, merge, grow apart and unfold into jagged structures that seem to implode. Light colors lay on dark form structures and create a harmony of tension in the unity of opposites. "

(Marlene Angermeyer-Deubner, quoted from: Marcotto, Cesare / Angermeyer-Deubner, Marlene / Elicio, Mario: Marcotto. Painting and sculpture from 1989–2001 , Weisenheim am Berg, 2002, p. 6)

  • "In his painting, however, he plunges into an abyss of self-revelation: and that's what he wants. [...] His pictures express a primeval, traditional, instinctual intensity: both expressed and feared. This is where it lies Strength of his emotive canon of expression, which in part remains secret, even if it is explosive. His most intimate area, the well-protected part of himself. "

(Mario Elicio, quoted from: Marcotto, Cesare / Angermeyer-Deubner, Marlene / Elicio, Mario: Marcotto. Painting and sculpture from 1989–2001 , Weisenheim am Berg, 2002, p. 38)
