Bruno Croatto Figurative Prints

Bruno Croatto became a pupil of Gabriel Hackl at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts but studied the Impressionists and the great masters of the 15th century. He painted figures, landscapes and flowers but his talent emerged in etchings and aquatints, in which, neglecting the drawing, he seeks only color and chiaroscuro effects. He exhibited in Monaco, Trieste, Paris, Venice, Rome, London, Prague and Vienna. In 1930, he held a personal exhibition at the Camera degli Artisti in Rome with more than 100 works among paintings and etchings. His works are preserved in the Prints Cabinet in the Corsini Museum in Rome, in Valle Giulia and in the Uffizi Gallery and in public collections in New York and England. One of his still life paintings is preserved at the Modern Art Gallery in Milan.
