Additional Information
Artist: Contardo Barbieri (1900-1966)
Born in Broni (PV) in 1900, Contardo Barbieri graduated from the Brera Academy of Arts in 1921. Without abandoning the realist matrix of his initial painting, during the 1920s Contardo Barbieri achieved a more solid and synthetic rendering of forms on the suggestion of the contemporary research of the Novecento group, which he joined after the first Milanese exhibition in 1926. From his debut in 1927 at the "National Art Exhibition", set up at the Palazzo della Permanente in Milan, he participated in numerous exhibitions, exhibiting between 1928 and 1942 at eight editions of the Venice Biennale and from 1931 to 1943 at four Quadrennials of Rome. In 1931 he also exhibited at the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art, in the United States, as part of the Exhibition of contemporary Italian paintings, organized by the Quadriennale. He obtained numerous awards, such as the International City of Venice Award at the 17th Biennale and the National Fascist Party Award at the 19th Biennale, with a vast repertoire of portraits, female figures, still lifes, as well as landscapes, in which he combined the severe twentieth-century language with I study from life. He was appointed director of the Carrara Academy in Bergamo in 1931 and, as part of the cultural renewal of the city, he created a mural decoration for the Littoria "A. Locatelli" house in 1938, which was later destroyed. In the mid-1930s he left as a volunteer for East Africa. Coinciding with the failure of the fascist ideology, an artistic crisis matured which culminated in 1942, with the retreat to models and schemes derived from ancient art. Barbieri died in Milan in 1966.Age: 20th Century / 1901 - 2000
