Gianpaolo Berto
Venice - Etching by Gianpaolo Berto - 1974

1974

About the Item

Venice is an original Etching realized by Gian Paolo Berto in 1974. Hand signed, sated and numbered by the artist with pencil on the lower right corner. Edition of 50. Good condition. Gian Paolo Berto was born and raised in the circumscribed but fervent post-war Adriese artistic environment where, apart from the isolated and not yet rediscovered genius of the Anglo-Saxon Foster, a new cultural climate was forming next to the figures of Scarpari, Reali, Rizzi, Palmieri, Gioli. Then in Rovigo he studied with Prudentiato and Breseghello and in friendship with Gabbris Ferrari. The meeting with the masters Zancanaro and Levi is striking and constitutes the springboard of this eclectic artist in the world of contemporary Italian painting. Although he was among the very few admitted to the studio of De Chirico (but also of Guttuso and Picasso), and having exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums, Berto has always exempted himself from appearing in the windows of the great art market, preferring contact, in an anti-elitist key, with the most genuine audiences: students, simple people, artists and intellectuals who conduct their research with rigor and autonomy compared to fashions and currents. This does not mean that his painting is disconnected from the context of contemporary art. On the contrary, the painter’s characteristic appropriation of the reality that surrounds him and to the evolving forms of painting, in Berto is explicit and, as often happens in art, prophetic. It is in fact known the debt contracted by the American Pop towards the European one: a front that at the time found a careful and operational Berto and then, in the decades to follow, ready to seize the blooms of the successive frontiers of art.
