Biography of Giorgio Rossi
Giorgio Rossi (1894-1981) was an Italian sculptor whose works combine meditative realism and archaic influences, firmly positioned within the Tuscan figurative tradition of the early 20th century. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence under Antonio Bortone, Rossi developed a style marked by intense formal research and modern sensibilities, showing clear affinities with the poetics of Libero Andreotti.
His sculptures, often created in terracotta or alabaster, express a powerful emotional charge through a sober and essential language. Rossi participated in major national exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale (17th edition in 1930 and 20th edition in 1936), showcasing works such as Head of a Fat Man and Young Woman. He also exhibited regularly at art shows in Tuscany and other Italian institutions, including the Tuscan Syndicate Exhibitions and the Sacred Art Exhibition.
For nearly thirty years, Rossi taught drawing and sculpture at the Artistic and Industrial School of Volterra, influencing generations of artists and leaving a lasting impact on the local cultural scene. His works, preserved by his descendants, highlight the depth and complexity of an artistic journey grounded in an intimate and humanistic vision of art.
