About the Item

Signed on the back: E Broglio e/o EB These paitings are the end product of a lifetime's study. They represent the sum of the experiments begun almost fifty years earlier with her husband, the painter Mario Broglio, with whom, together with the young artists working in Rome in the 1920s, she founded and worked on the periodical 'Valori Plastici' and its associated publishing company. When Broglio died in the 1950s, Edita embraced and internalised, once and for all, the totality of her past experience stretching from 'Magical Realism', the movement within which she had produced some of her most enchanting works in the 1920s and '30s, immersed in an atmosphere of frozen suspension (the same atmosphere that permeates every one of the Four Hours of the Day), to her study of the painting of the old masters such as Giotto, Piero della Francesca and other 14th century artists, which she rediscovered in the company of the painters gravitating around the periodical. She pursued that study with increasingly radical intensity throughout the 1930s, when she began to show her work less and to pursue her research with consistency, triggering what she was to call the 'second phase' of her painting which as she herself wrote: '..is shaped by the need to distinguish between appearance and reality, to realise that temperament, inspiration and skill are hostile elements averse to art, which on the contrary requires discipline, moderation, obedience, where knowing the limits of matter (which is by nature rebellious), making it ductile and singing so that it responds in subjection, yet without sacrificing the volume, the three dimensional nature of things – nagging considerations, which have taught me that form alone is capable of breathing life into content'.
