Giancarlo Cazzaniga - Broom

Flowers, or plants in general, as independent subjects, began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the world of flowers and plants, as they offered an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers and plants were depicted not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers and plants also became a way of interpreting reality.

Giancarlo Cazzaniga was born in Monza in 1930 and passed away in 2013. In 1950, he attended the Cimabue Academy of Art in Milan. His friendship with journalist and art critic Aurelio Sioli introduced him to the famous Pirovini sisters' dairy and the artistic milieu that thrived there. He began frequenting the Brera district, participating in cultural debate, and associating with the protagonists of the cultural movement later defined as Existential Realism. He made his debut in the 1950s, participating in public and thematic exhibitions, and then holding his first solo exhibition in 1957 in Brescia. He exhibited at the Permanente in Milan in 1958, having been invited to the "Young Italian Artists" exhibition, and in 1959, again in Milan, he won the San Fedele Prize. In the 1960s, he was invited to the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale.
