According to wikipedia, Sprezzatura (Italian pronunciation: [sprettsaˈtura]) is an archaic Italian word from Baldassare Castiglione’s 1528 novel The Book of the Courtier. It’s “a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought . . .” These works are spontaneous and bold. Some are abstract. And returning to the canvas over several months brought a different energy to the imagery. The common result is the joy of the vine whether depicted, utilized (or imbibed).
