About the Item

This is an original print by the Italo-Brazilian artist Alfredo Volpi, signed and numbered as exemplar 45/200. The work has been framed and has a size of 100 x 67 cm. Alfredo Volpi is considered one of the most important artists of the second generation of modernism in Brazil, known for his works featuring little flags and houses. He started painting in 1911, executing decorative murals and then working with oil on wood, being recognized as a master in using the tempera technique on canvas. In addition to being a great colorist, Volpi also explored magnificent forms and compositions, creating works of great visual impact. He was part of a group of excellent colorists, along with Arcangelo Ianelli and Aldir Mendes de Souza, known as "The 3 Colorists". They were featured in a book written by Alberto Beuttenmüller in July 1989. Volpi also worked as a decorative painter in the homes of São Paulo society, carrying out artistic decoration work on walls and murals. He collaborated with Antonio Ponce Paz, a Spanish painter and sculptor who soon became a great friend of Volpi. The artist held his first solo exhibition at the age of 47, exhibiting at the Salão de Maio and the 1st Exposição da Família Artística Paulista, in 1938, in the city of São Paulo. In the 1950s, Volpi evolved into geometric abstractionism, producing the famous series of flags and festival poles. He received the prize for best national painter at the second São Paulo Biennial in 1953. Volpi participated in the first Concrete Art Exhibition as a member of the Santa Helena Group, although he did not officially participate in the group. He always visited his friends who were part of the group, such as Mario Zanini and Francisco Rebolo. The Santa Helena Group was composed of Aldo Bonadei, Clóvis Graciano, Fúlvio Penacchi, and Ernesto de Fiori, who had a great influence on Volpi's work. In 1927, Volpi met the person who would become the great love of his life, a waitress named Benedita da Conceição, nicknamed Judith, with whom he had only one daughter, Eugênia. It is almost certain that Judith was his model for the painting "Mulata" (1927). Volpi had three other children, with disputes among the heirs, including the removal of Eugênia from the role of administrator, as she managed the estate as if she were the only heir. On April 15, 1976, on the occasion of his 80th birthday, Volpi was awarded the Order of Ipiranga, in the rank of Grand Officer, by the Government of the State of São Paulo. On April 14, 2013, Volpi was honored with a doodle on the homepage of Google Brazil.
