An example of Ghiglia's pictorial quest / approach is the portrait of Ugo Ojetti in his studio. Here the painter from Livorno paints a person like a still life, primarily by use of the brush strokes and color, which is more compact in the center, becoming lighter/less intense at the edge ... The light is diffused; it seems almost to dematerialize / dehumanize the art critic, making him look more like a statue as he looks up from an open book, wearing a monocle. (A very loose interpretation of a very loose Google translation of text at http://zest.today/arte/notizie-arte/oscar-ghiglia-il-grande-maestro-dimenticato/)
