Oil on glass. Signed and dated at the bottom right, with the artist's symbol, the stylized figurine of a man in a wheelchair. On the back label with further signature and opera data. The Naif -style painting offers a moment of peasant life, or the sowing of the small field; The farmer works in the small plot of land, almost a vegetable garden, with the hens who peck around him, and around Verdi hills, illuminated by a huge sparkling sun. It is a work on the glass of the painter Mario Previ, who from 'age of eighteen years lives and paints on a wheelchair, for a tetraplegia resulting from a dip in his Taro. He said of himself:' The world, the passage of time, from this point of view (the wheelchair) teach many things. You learn to wake up every morning with a purpose, even if your body is painful, if each gesture generates suffering and depend on others and give up it could be an easy solution. Instead, art, painting, together with the serenity of my world, of friends, give me incredible energy. They saved me, giving me the strength to live'. In 1974, three years after the accident, inspired by a television broadcast on the painters Naif Yugoslavi, in particular by the works on Mijo Kovacic glass, Predi begins to paint and learn the Art of painting on self -taught glass, up to getting known and appreciating for his paintings. In his naifs Mario Previ tells a reality that is now almost disappeared, real stories if in a fairytale tone, revives lost traditions, split of life that belonged to At other generations, those of peasant civilization (from which he comes from he comes), but what emerges most from his visions are the "forë", those that could be heard once in the "Fossi", the traditional evenings of the fractions of the dedicated Parma area to find yourself to tell historical anecdotes, tales and curiosities, often in front of the fireplace fire, when there was cold and it snowed outside. The work is presented in a frame.
