Show introduction
With a corpus of drawings including ink works, pencil, ink and coal on paper and over a dozen tempera and mixed techniques, Galleria dello Scudo presents from 8 April 1969 the exhibition dedicated to Mario Sironi, realized in collaboration with Matilde Sironi, widow of the artist.
Memories of the war recurring in drawings such as Trincea (1918), urban architecture and compositions with figures of the twenties and thirties, studies by monument, allegorical visions and landscapes of various periods, are the subjects that alternate in an installation on show until 25 April 1969.
Artist
Born in Sassari in 1885, he trained in Rome. He enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering, interrupting his studies to enter the Scuola Libera del Nudo at the Academy of Fine Arts. Here he met Melli and Balla and subsequently came into contact with Boccioni and Severini. In 1905-1906 he lived in Milan and from 1908 to 1911 he stayed in Paris and in Germany.
