Emilio Greco Prints and Multiples
Italian, 1913-1995
Emilio Greco, (born Oct. 11, 1913, Catania, Italy—died April 5, 1995, Rome), Italian sculptor of bronze and marble figurative works, primarily female nudes and portraits.
At the age of 13, Greco was apprenticed to a stonemason, and he later studied at the Academy of Art in Palermo. Though he began exhibiting in Rome in 1943, he was not well-established until after World War II. His first solo exhibition was held in 1946, and in 1948 he became a teaching assistant at the Artistic Secondary School in Rome.
His subject matter varied little throughout his career. In their refined, elongated forms and assertive balance, his sculpted figures reflect the Mannerist tradition in Italian art (e.g., Bather No. 2, 1956–57). The expressive, luminous surface treatment in some pieces, however, strikes a clear parallel with the work of Giacomo Manzù and Marino Marini.
He designed one of the bronze doors of the Cathedral at Orvieto (1961–64) and the monument to Pope John XXIII in Saint Peter’s (1965–67). In 1974 a Greco Garden, dedicated to his works, was opened at the Open Air Museum, Hakone, Japan. In 1991 a group of Greco’s works, donated by the artist to the city of Orvieto, was placed on permanent exposition at the Palazzo Soliano.

Artist Biography: One of the key figures of post-war Italian art, Emilio Greco (1913-1995) was born in Catania, Sicily, where he was apprenticed at an early age to a stone mason and sculptor of funerary monuments and in 1934 studied at the Academy of Art in Palermo. Strongly influenced by Etruscan, Greek and Roman art, Greco is best known for his powerful classicised portrait busts and sensual nudes. Settling in Rome in 1943 Greco had his first one-man exhibition at the Galleria Il Cortile in 1946. In 1947 he took a studio in Villa Massimo, together with artists such as Leoncillo, Guttuso and Mazzacurati. In 1948 he participated in the "Olympics Exhibition" in London at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and his “Wrestler” was in the "Exhibition on Sport" at the Tate Gallery. In 1949 he was invited to the exhibit in "Italian Twentieth-century Art" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In the same period, the Tate Gallery in London acquired his “Seated Figure”.
Establishing an international reputation, Greco went on to exhibit extensively and also received important religious commissions during his career. These included a monument for St Peter’s in Rome commemorating Pope John XXIII (1965–67), and the monumental doors...
