Alberto sugi - 1928
 

Quite accidentally discovered the amazing and talented artist.

Alberto sugi (Alberto Sughi), was born October 5, 1928 in Chezene.Hudozhnik - self-taught, began painting at age six, in every way encouraged by his mother, took lessons in painting from his uncle, the artist. In 1946 he held his first exhibition in his native city. Next year an illustrator working in Turin for the Gazzetta del Popolo.

In 1948 he visited the Venice Biennale, and remains under the strong impression of still lifes Fougeron and in 1954 he wrote that the realism of the artist he was struck by the extent that forced to review their own objectives in the works.

Returned in Cesena in 1951. The next period (to 1956) marks a transition from "social realism" to the "existential".

Some critics, who see his paintings of those years as depression and pain Alberto sugi replied: "Since my first show in Rome in the 50 years I have made an interesting discovery about my work said they were sad and depressing ... But I never used a gray color to make the sadness and pink for hope. When you paint, the mind and the hand act with purpose and determination. The purpose of painting is not pity, but to represent.

In those years it was customary to talk about Alberto sugi as a realist, Antonello Trombadori put it on a par with Edward Hopper.

In the early 70's Alberto leaves his studio and returned to Cesena.
He begins a series of works titled Dinner (La Cena) (post 1) , which is a metaphor for the middle class society, and in which there is some analogy with the "realism" by German artist Gross and Dix.

Images of paintings do not coincide with the text

Thank you very much, iside!

Concerning the "realistic" period, I would not compare it with Hopper, and with Wyeth. Hopper (who was very fond of) land, and your sugi brings with Wyeth (which is also very fond of) a certain "flyuidnost. Yes, and the mood they are, it seems to me closer.
A Dix and Gros - also, in my opinion, wrong. We sugi no inherent aggressiveness and some vulgarity.
And on the distant influence of Munch's nobody wrote? For me it is obvious.

I did not know that the artist must have thought to see a lot of times, but I like him. Very Italian - reminiscences mass :)

the influence of Francis Bacon in sight ... I really liked

Very talented ...

iside, and you see him only in the computer or real? Where was he before? There is something to think about. It is not fully fit in my presentation. Thank you.
Looked rollers. Admire - a sturdy old man: his eyes, hand. These formats are masters! And some loquacious art! That gives the same God .:(:)

Oh, I did not expect it so everyone will like, I'm even jealous little :)


LCR, thanks for your post, I'm glad you liked it. I translated one article has not yet finished, articles about him a lot to me and very interesting to read about it, because it is interesting and others will translate. Regarding the influence of other artists, I was hard to talk about it, drawing parallels with many artists, but the pictures that I attaching to this post personally, I am reminded of Bacon.

Tjutchev, thanks for the link to the video.

This Vittorio Sgarbi, an art critic and artkritik Number 1 in Italy. And I found out about this artist, when I read an article in the news that Sgarbi has been appointed curator of the Italian Pavilion at the Biennale in Venice in 2011 (and for the Italian contemporary art is the same as the fall of the Berlin Wall) and in the interview, he told me that intends to present a picture of Alberto sugi, whose work has been discriminated against during the Achille Bonito Oliva, who as we know the group was engaged Transavangvardiya.

The video Sgarbi looks excellent, although it is also known for his eccentric behavior and in the style of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, if not pohlesche :)

All Italians love to talk, this is one of the few who said something really valuable.

Some graphics and pictures

iside, thanks, very interesting!
On Bacon's little similarity-Bacon diametrically opposed attitude to work with color and composition. Closer to Auerbach.
Critic, probably right when referring to the blue and rose period Picasso. Yes, and later Picasso liked to write a great picture in three colors-white, black, ocher.
I liked very much how it works with chromium dioxide, velvety depths. In the love of chromium is similar to Nesterovoj park write the same way.
