About the Item
Cosola Demetrio (1851-1895)
Demetrio Cosola lived his entire short life between Chivasso and Turin. At the age of eighteen he entered the Accademia Albertina in Turin, where he became a pupil of Gamba, Gastaldi and Gili, and from 1883 (he was then only thirty-two) an assistant to Gastaldi. He later taught at the Accademia Albertina himself, but preferred "playing billiards in the Turin cafes and good Piedmontese wine." Cosola's output, relative to his short life, was large: he painted about 200 landscapes, as many portraits, about a hundred paintings of various subjects, and made many drawings and sketches. In his works Cosola stands out for a special delicacy and brightness of color, for the deep attention, more psychological than visual, with which he portrays the characters, even if they are not always (famous) personalities. He showed the ability to create characteristic groups of people in small paintings more reminiscent of the Florentine painting of his time than of Piedmontese painting, and in which his fellow citizens could easily recognize friends, neighbors, playmates or workmates. However, the portraits, landscapes, genre paintings and the numerous drawings and sketches give us sufficient documentation to count Cosola among the most important figures of Piedmontese nineteenth-century painting.

- Garçon avec des Fruit - Boy with Fruit - Oil on Canvas - Naive PaintingBy Nino GiuffridaLocated in Meinisberg, CHNino Giuffrida (Sicilian, 1924, active in France) Un Garçon avec des Fruits • Oil on canvas, ca. 41 x 33 cm • Frame, made by the renowned framer Knöll from Zürich, ca. 54 x 46 cm • Signed top left Born in 1924 in Sicily, Nino already attended the artistic high school in Catania at the age of 17, where he befriended fellow painters including Pippo Aleo and Giovanni Calogero. At that time, he painted with passion everything he saw, landscapes, seascapes, still lifes. After a first attempt to come to France with his friend Giovanni in 1948, aborted for lack of a visa. Nino finally arrived at the Gare de Lyon on December 8, 1949 and settled at number 30 rue Gabrielle in Montmartre. Nino began to paint Paris. Like many Montmartre artists of this period, while he painted all day long, he moved about in the evening on the terraces of the cafés of Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés to transform himself into a portrait painter and randomly sketch the customers in restaurants. Nino then devoted himself more and more to the painting of children, which became his favorite theme of inspiration. Pierre Imbourg, journalist and art critic, wrote of him: "Montmartre, the land of little ‘Poulbots’, inspiring Nino to record in his mind all these childrens faces whose intense facial expression he would endevour to reproduce". It was also at this time that his career as a Montmartre painter influenced by cubism began. With the disappearance of the art galleries in Montmartre, Nino decides to settle on the French Riviera, in Cannes then in Vallauris. From 1952 his personal exhibitions follow one another and Nino becomes an international painter: Rome, Brussels, Chicago, Copenhagen, Helsingborg and Aüs in Sweden, in Geneva, in Kourou in Guyana... In Paris, he manages the Galerie de la Colonne...Category
