Facilitated description 

 

The work "Mother and Son" by Carlo Carrà is a painting on canvas from 1917 preserved at the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.
Restorer Pinin Brambilla Barcilon restored the work in 1989.
He cleaned the support and reinforced the frame (structure that supports the canvas of the painting).
It fixed the flakes of color and the edges of the lacerations (splits, cuts or tears of the material).
He carried out the plastering (a white layer of plaster and glue that extends inside a lack and that forms a smooth and uniform base on which to paint the additions) of the edges to protect the painting from moisture.
He integrated the gaps (reconstructed the material or color of the missing parts) with paint colors and glaze (transparent layer of color).
The restoration also involved the frame, integrated (reconstructed the material or color of the missing parts) with hatched watercolor (thin and small lines of color that from a distance recompose the shape of the missing part).
On the back of the frame applied a light layer of paint.
