Additional Information
Artist: Mario Cortiello (1907-1982)
Born in Naples in 1907, Mario Cortiello was initially self-taught, then he was a pupil of Gennaro Villani from whose ways he broke away after meeting Umberto Lilloni, who brought him closer to the Lombard Chiarism. Later he reached a personal style, with notes that bring him closer to the naive style, managing to renew Neapolitan painting without departing from tradition. He was admitted to the Venice Biennale at the age of twenty, in which he then participated until the 1942 edition, holding two personal exhibitions in the 1936 and 1940 editions. He also exhibited at the Roman quadriennials and in various European cities. His works are present in numerous Italian museums including the Ricci Oddi Modern Art Gallery in Piacenza.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
