Carlo Socrate Art
Carlo Socrate was born in Mezzanabigli in 1889 and was an Italian painter. He spent his early childhood in Argentina where his parents had moved to practice the profession of theater actors. In 1898, he returned to Italy. He studied painting in Florence and moved to Rome in 1914 after he completed his studies. In the beginning, he devoted himself to the scenography for the theater and made acquaintance with the painters who worked in Rome at that time. Among them, he met Picasso in Paris and decided to follow him to complete and enrich his artistic background. After going to Spain, he returned to Rome, where he remained for the rest of his life. In 1931, he exhibited at the 1st National Art Quadrennial in Rome. Socrate died in Rome in 1967.

Carlo Socrate (Mezzana Bigli -Pavia 1889 – Rome 1967)
He is the son of actors and lives in Argentina until the age of nine years.
Once returned to Italy, he begins attending the Free School of the Nude and in 1914, he goes to Rome, where a year later he would study at Villa Strohl-Fern.
In 1917, he worked for the company, Ballets Russes by Diaghilev; he also collaborated with the scenography for Las Meninas and prepared the scenes for Les femmes de bonne humeur (The Good Humored Ladies) by Léon Bakst. During this period, he meets Picasso, whom he follows to Paris, collaborating with him on scenes from Parade. During his stay in Paris, he meets Derain and other exponents of the cultural environment.
With Picasso, he visited Barcelona and then Madrid where, together, they visited The Prado Museum.
In 1918, at the Casina Valadier on the Pincian Hill (Rome), he exhibits his Still Life with a Dish of Apples and Onions, which arouses perplexity in the Roman environment for his personal rare “neoclassicism” but at the same time, attentive to European situation in those years.
After Portatrice di Frutta (Fruit Carrier) (1924), which is one of his masterpieces, he exhibits i Cacciatori (The Hunters), a very challenging painting, at the “Novecento Italiano...
