Leon Morrocco, like his father Alberto, enjoys the medium of pastel. For many, like the French Intimiste Vuillard, pastel is a soft, suggestive medium, but for Morrocco the immediacy and strength of pigment produces a clarity of drawing as exemplified here. A simple motif: the still life posed on a hall chair, is in sharp focus while the delicacy and depth of the soft medium is brilliantly deployed.
