{"product_id":"aldo-conti-senza-titolo","title":"Aldo Conti - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eOne of the recurring subjects in Aldo Conti's paintings is the glimpse of small, charming villages. This is a subject in which Conti demonstrates the distinctive features of his style, a blend of tradition and innovation. Compositionally, the painter approaches the glimpse with a traditional approach, a drawing that constructs a perspective view and conventional spatial depth. However, Conti manages to enliven and poeticize his views through an elaborate pictorial style, sometimes composed of bold lines, at other times of subtle, exquisite graphic expression that renders the buildings evanescent and charged with magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAldo Conti (Milan, 1890 – Milan, 1988). Between 1911 and 1914 he trained in Milan and Paris, where he attended the school of architecture at the École des Beaux Arts. Upon returning to Italy, he devoted himself to landscape and urban views. In the post-war period, he was influenced by the Italian Novecento movement but did not participate in the group's exhibitions. From the 1930s onwards, he took part in the National Exhibitions held at the Società ed Esposizione Permanente in Milan and was present at the First and Fourth National Quadrennial of Art in Rome (1931, 1943) and at various editions of the International Art Exhibition in Venice (1936, 1940, 1942). In 1938, he won the Sallustio Fornara Prize at the Autumn Social Exhibition of the Society for the Fine Arts, and thanks to this, his painting Campagna lombarda entered the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan. In the same year he took part in the First Bergamo Prize, where he returned again in 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valsecchi Corlatti Elisa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218633961858,"sku":"EVAL003","price":650.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/20230420_173119_resized.jpg?v=1768475051","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/aldo-conti-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
