My night
2 0 1 9
watercolor on paper- private collection - Moscov
It is very easy to represent a landscape in full watercolor light.
But with the night, everything becomes more difficult.
The watercolor painters know it well, a nocturnal watercolor has double difficulties compared to the same daytime landscape.
- You don't have the white color to lighten.
- You can't give transparency with colors, as sunlight requires.
- You have dark tones that risk drowning the painting, making it become too dark and dirty.
- Gray, blue, brown are very dangerous to use, they can only create visual confusion.
- You have little light to use, you must have the light pictorial line.
This is my night, dedicated to children in the war zones, and to my friend photojournalist Eligio Paoni, a child, companion of many beers, correspondent of many wars, who now photographs them from his night.
Hi Eligio.
An embrace of peace.
Armando.
I dreamed in one day
to feel the night
among the stars and bombs.
Falling.
Without noise
in silence.
A night of quiet
without tears
and neither cries
a night of peace
distant the roars
of shooting stars.
I dreamed in one day
to feel the night
sing the praises
of young martyrs.
I heard one night
the pain of a day
broken lives
and red trees
of spilled blood.
I dreamed of the night
as a dream of light
and drawings of children
playing in peace.
E' molto facile rappresentare un paesaggio in piena luce ad acquarello.
Ma con la notte, tutto diventa più difficile.
I pittori acquarellisti lo sanno bene, un acquerello notturno ha difficoltà doppie, rispetto allo stesso paesaggio diurno.
- Non hai il colore bianco per schiarire.
- Non puoi dare la trasparenza con i colori, come la luce del sole prevede.
- Hai i tono scuri che rischiano di affogare il dipinto, di farlo diventare troppo scuro e sporco.
- Il grigio, il blu, il marrone sono molto pericolosi da usare, possono creare solo confusione visiva.
- Hai poca luce da usare, devi avere il tratto pittorico leggero.
Questa è la mia notte, dedicata ai bambini nelle zone di guerra, ed alla mio amico fotoreporter Eligio Paoni, un bambino, compagno di molte birre, inviato di molte guerre, che ora le fotografa dalla sua notte.
Ciao Eligio.
Un abbraccio di pace.
Armando.
Ho sognato in un giorno
di sentire la notte
tra le stelle e le bombe.
Cadenti.
Senza rumore
in silenzio.
Una notte di quiete
senza pianti
e nè grida
una notte di pace
lontani i boati
di stelle cadenti.
Ho sognato in un giorno
di sentire la notte
cantare le lodi
di giovani martiri.
Ho sentito una notte
il dolore di un giorno
vite spezzate
ed alberi rossi
di sangue versato.
Ho sognato la notte
come sogno di luce
e disegni di bimbi
che giocano in pace.

Ricordavo vagamente la storia del reporter che aveva immortalato Giuliani, scoprire questo collegamento con te e quindi, in qualche modo, con tutti noi, mi ha toccato e mi ha commosso. Grazie per questa bellissima condivisione e per il tuo triste acquerello che accompagna questo stato d'animo.
Egidio è stato un anticonformista vero, non si voluto piegare alla logica dei poteri forti, i fatti di piazza Alimonda a Genova e le botte che ha preso dai celerini hanno inciso profondamente sulla sua vita professionale e non solo. Avrei molte cose da raccontare, e per farlo chiederò l'autorizzazione a sua moglie. Grazie a te per aver letto, lui sarà molto felice.
