An Italian-American painter known for his detailed and precise still lifes, Lucioni painted with great technical skill in a style reminiscent of American Realists. His work thrives from his carefully considered placement of diverse objects, exemplified here in Contemporary Conversation, which juxtaposes texture and function, enriching the work with dimensionality.
