They are large-format figurative representations of isolated everyday objects and gestures on a white or monochrome background. The period spans from Autoportrait au raglan (1963) to Wildcat n\u00ba2 (1970).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a short trial phase between 1959 and 1960, influenced by American abstract expressionism, St\u00e4mpfli felt a deep need to recover figuration in painting. He found his theme in the objects and gestures of everyday life in the 1960s, a time when the mass production and distribution of consumer goods defined society. He drew inspiration from the large formats of advertising and the languages of popular media. <br><br>These are portraits of gestures and objects that radically departed from the emotions of expressionism. The artist\u2019s hand, in the form of brushstrokes or textures, is imperceptible. The images, with great chromatic intensity\u2014for example, Pot-au-feu (1963), Tomate or Moka, both from 1964\u2014remain isolated and immobile, floating on a white monochrome background, with compositions inspired by photography. St\u00e4mpfli himself explains the intention: to create \u201ca dictionary of everyday objects and gestures\u201d; to abstract them from the banality of daily life and bring them into the artist\u2019s studio represented through the manual technique of the great pictorial tradition: oil painting. <br><br>These works emphasize the criteria that defined modern painting and were the subject of debate among critics of the time: the two-dimensional nature of the artwork, its autonomy, and its objectivity. They resolved, considering them outdated, the opposing and exclusive dichotomies that structured 20th-century painting: high culture versus popular culture, fine arts confronted with daily banality, and finally, abstraction opposed to representation. <br><br>It should be noted that Wildcat n\u00ba2 (1970, displayed in this room), along with its predecessor Wildcat n\u00ba1 (1967), marks the moment when St\u00e4mpfli decided the fundamental core of his artistic life until today: after focusing on the automobile, he reduced it to the wheel and ultimately to the tyre and its geometric design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1647,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"estat":[43],"sala":[54],"class_list":["post-1648","exposicio","type-exposicio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","estat-permanent","sala-room-a"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>1963-1970.
