Description
The background and the portrayal of the artist: heir to the 19th century artistic tradition, carlo carrà lived through and … more The background and the portrayal of the artist: heir to the 19th century artistic tradition, carlo carrà lived through and participated in all the avant-garde art movements of the 20th century, from futurism (the futurist phase lasted 4-6 years) to metaphysical art, and from the novecento italiano movement to the valori plastici experiment. “for the spirit, there exist no contradictions – only transformations and developments. Changing direction in art does not mean rejecting the past but broadening it so that it melds with another aesthetic concept; it means discovering new and hitherto unknown relationships, and opening one’s eyes wider, the better to grasp a greater number of different realities.” so did the artist explain his “chameleon-like” transformations in 1942, after having, through long experience, found his own, autonomous style, while at the same time keeping up with the most recent trends in european painting and renewing the italian figurative tradition. In 1928, he exhibited 14 paintings at the venice biennale, and in 1931 he had his own room at the first rome quadriennale. In 1933, he signed the ''manifesto della pittura murale'' . Between 1934 and 1938 he travelled to campania, algeria and malta, devoting himself to a series of large murals. The correspondence dates from this period, when his fame was growing, thanks in part to the patronage of countess pecci-blunt, who organized an exhibition for him in new york.
