Serge FIORIO (1911-2011) Lively village on the river bank Oil on canvas. Signed lower left. 41 x 33 cm It was Waldemar-George who, evoking Fiorio's painting, wrote in a letter to a friend: "I do not consider this artist as a naive painter. He paints like a Sienese primitive. He has the freshness of perception and the virgin eye of Lorenzetti. He also has their joyful knowledge. His vision is that of a poet, of an enchanter who has rediscovered the gift of childhood wonder. We would like to thank Mr. André Lombard for the information he has provided us with.
