I colori di una terra. L'opera pittorica e la vivacità narrativa del pittore «barcelgottese» Iris Isgrò

Il 6 giugno 2009, pochi mesi dopo la scomparsa del pittore Iris Isgrò, la famiglia - in collaborazione con l'associazione culturale Genius Loci e con la Pro Loco di Barcellona P.G. (ME) - organizzò una conferenza dal titolo "I colori di una terra, l'opera pittorica e la vivacità narrativa del pittore barcelgottese Iris Isgrò" seguita da una mostra retrospettiva. A cinque anni da quel convegno, nell'anno in cui ricorre il novantesimo anniversario della nascita di Iris Isgrò, dalla pubblicazione degli Atti di quella Tavola Rotonda - ricca di contenuti profondi e commoventi, dettati da un grande affetto, stima e riconoscenza per l'eredità immateriale che il pittore barcelgottese ha lasciato - emerge la figura di un artista, lontano da ogni corrente che nel tempo affina un suo linguaggio forgiato da eventi personali, travagli interiori ma anche dal contesto che lo circonda, culminando nell'ultimo ventennio in quello che viene definito "verismo magico".

Résumé

Susan Kietzman’s engrossing and thought-provoking novel explores the choices and revelations that come with life’s most unexpected events.
 
Grace Trumbull’s after work drink with Bradley Hanover, a handsome younger colleague, on a warm summer night turns into an impulsive, intimate encounter. After a few weeks of exhilarating secret dates, Grace—forty-two and divorced—realizes she’s pregnant.
 
For Grace, whose estranged mother refers to her own teenage pregnancy as her biggest mistake, the prospect of parenthood is daunting. She’s just been made vice president of a media relations company and is childfree by choice. Still, something deeper than her fear makes her want to keep the baby. She knows she can be a better, more capable parent than her mother was to her.
 
As months pass and seasons change, Grace questions her decision to include Bradley in her plans. But they continue to navigate their complicated relationship, each struggling with what it means to make a commitment to someone. Most importantly, Grace begins trusting her instincts—maternal and otherwise—finding courage that will guide her through an uncertain future ripe with new possibilities . . .
