Female Portrait

Oil on canvas. Signed bottom right. Portrait of a young woman in a black evening gown, enlivened by a big flower shawl that she wears draped on a shoulder. Piece by Alberto Salietti, an artist from Romagna, who, even if he developed almost all of his artistic career in Milan and Liguria, the painter, carver, mosaicist and fresco-painter, was still a reference point for painters from Romagna, especially between the two wars. After he moved to Milan with his family, he attended the Accademia of Brera until 1914. After the Venice Biennale in 1924, he became a part of the Novecento movement, which he became a secretary of in 1925. In 1926, he exhibited at the "First Exhibition of the Italian Novecento" and in 1927 he was one of the founders of the "Group of seven modern painters", with Funi, Sironi, Tosi, Carrà, Marussig and Bernasconi. As a portraitist and landscapist, Salietti, who drew from the post-impressionist, secessionist and modern influences, gave an original contribution to Italian art betweet the two wars, standing out for the joyous and optimistic adhesion to reality. The painting is framed.
