Ugo Attardi Art

Italian, 1923-2006
Ugo Attardi (Sori, 12 March 1923 – Rome, 20 July 2006) was an Italian painter, sculptor and writer. He was born in the province of Genoa. His father, a trade unionist and active member of the “Federazione dei Marittimi” (Seafarers' Federation), originally from Santo Stefano Quisquina, a small village in the province of Agrigento, was forced by the Fascist regime to leave Liguria and return to Sicily. His mother was Natalia Attardi Donnini. After moving with his family to Palermo, intrigued by painting and its techniques from an early age (in his spare time he helped his paternal uncle, an old portrait and landscape painter), he began attending the Academy of Fine Arts and later the Faculty of Architecture. In 1945, he moved to Rome, staying with Pietro Consagra, who was himself a guest of Renato Guttuso. The climate rich in cultural and civil initiatives of the post-war period allowed him to resume his research with enthusiasm. In 1948, together with a group of young artists, he founded the abstract movement Forma Uno, but his views diverged from those of the rest of the group. His companions were Carla Accardi, Antonio Sanfilippo, Pietro Consagra, Piero Dorazio, Mino Guerrini, Concetto Maugeri, Achille Perilli and Giulio Turcato. In 1948, he participated in the National Exhibition of Figurative Arts (V Quadriennale Nazionale d'Arte) in Rome. In the early 1950s, he turned his art towards expressionism, drawing inspiration from Francis Bacon and George Grosz, among others, combining his artistic activity with political commitment within the Italian Communist Party. The need to experiment with a new and visionary relationship with reality led him to move away from abstractionism and study his own form of expressionism. In 1952 and 1954, he was invited to the 26th and 27th Venice Biennales. In 1956, despite the crisis of realism, he exhibited successfully in a gallery in Trastevere. In 1958, he participated in the founding of the cultural and political newspaper Città Aperta and began collaborating with it, together with Tommaso Chiaretti, Elio Petri, Renzo Vespignani and Mario Socrate. In the early 1960s, he participated in numerous exhibitions both in Italy and abroad. In 1961, he founded the group Il Pro e il Contro, leading all the events until the last year, when it was dissolved. In 1963, one of his works was exhibited at the Contemporary Italian Paintings exhibition, held in several Australian cities. In 1963-64, he exhibited at the Peintures italiennes d'aujourd'hui exhibition, held in the Middle East and North Africa. A trip to Spain led him to rediscover the classics and deepen his historical studies. In 1974, he created the banner for the Palio di Siena on 16 August. In 1986 and 1987, he exhibited at the ICAF in London and at the International Exhibition of Contemporary Art in Milan.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Howard Norton Cook (1901-1980) was one of the best-known of the second generation of artists who moved to Taos. A native of Massachusetts, he studied at the Art Students League in New York City and at the Woodstock Art Colony. Beginning his association with Taos in 1926, he became a resident of the community in the 1930s. During his career, he received two Guggenheim Fellowships and was elected an Academician in the National Academy of Design. He earned a national reputation as a painter, muralist, and printmaker. Cook’s work in the print mediums received acclaim early in his career with one-person exhibitions at the Denver Art Museum (1927) and the Museum of New Mexico (1928). He received numerous honors and awards over the years, including selection in best-of-the-year exhibitions sponsored by the American Institute of Graphics Arts, the Brooklyn Museum, the Society of American Etchers, and the Philadelphia Print Club. His first Guggenheim Fellowship took him to Taxco, Mexico in 1932 and 1933; his second in the following year enabled him to travel through the American South and Southwest. Cook painted murals for the Public Works of Art Project in 1933 and the Treasury Departments Art Program in 1935. The latter project, completed in Pittsburgh, received a Gold Medal from the Architectural League of New York. One of his most acclaimed commissions was a mural in the San Antonio Post Office in 1937. He and Barbara Latham settled in Talpa, south of Taos, in 1938 and remained there for over three decades. Cook volunteered in World War II as an Artist War Correspondent for the US Navy, where he was deployed in the Pacific. In 1943 he was appointed Leader of a War Art Unit...
