GINO ROSSI |
| |
Gino Rossi was born in 1884 in Venice, five years
before Arturo Martini
and he cemented a friendship and an important artistic fellowship
with him for whole his life.
Gino Rossi’s background is self-made; unlike many artists
from Veneto he didn’t attend any academy of art,
but he was a haunter of the most important Italian and French museums.
He made his fund of art knowledge instinctively and independently
thus it affected him for whole life positively and negatively
All his works were influenced by the comparison with the most renowned
modern painters. |
| |
| Gino Rossi, hostile to establishment, opposed the
Venice Biennale and he founded the Burano School together with other
artists from Veneto as Semeghini, Martini, Malossi and Fabiano. He
made an important series of oil paintings in those years: Ritratto
di Signora in nero, Uomo del canarino, Il muto
and Fanciulla del Fiore, showed today at Museo
di Santa Caterina in Treviso. |
| |
He frequented Salone della Società delle Nazioni
in 1907 and the Venice Biennale and thus he knew the painting by Gauguin,
Matisse, Vlaminck, Cèzanne; its works were characteristic of
steadfast and sharp outlines and of bright strokes.
He met Van Gogh in Paris in 1909, he deepened his knowledge of Cèzanne
and Gauguin; influence of these painters is visible in the works made
between 1910 and 1912 by Gino Rossi as La casa nell’orto
(Rome); Grande descrizione asolana, 1912.
|
| |
| The Osteria alla Colonna, situated in the old centre
of Treviso, became a meeting and comparisons place among Gino Rossi
and other artists from Veneto as Arturo Martini,
Guido Cacciapuoti, Arturo Malossi, Ascanio Pavan who used to gather
there around 1910. |
| |
Gino Rossi moved to Montello (a hill 18 kilometres
away north of Treviso). He was in the army in the First World War,
he was taken prisoner and when he went go back home and he found it
bombed-out on the Montello.
The Gino Rossi’s pictorial research developed with the comparison
between the classical painting and the painting of the contemporaneous
painters as it happened in other contemporary artists. It need be
regained the main values (perspective, atmosphere, accuracy and colour),
but to paint thus it is no more possible after the innovative painting
by Picasso Cèzanne and Van Gogh. |
| |
These problems worried Gino Rossi more and more dramaticly
as he convinced himself they couldn’t be resolved reasonably.
That existential tragedy ripened in the years and it moved away him
both from output and from official world.
Gino Rossi died forgotten in 1947; Arturo Martini, his friend, died
in the same year.
