Virgilio Guidi Furniture
Italian
Virgilio Guidi was an Italian painter and teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. He was born in Rome into an artistic family. He was very passionate about geometry and design. He was trained under the guidance of Giulio Aristide Sartorio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and he was influenced by Spadini. He began to study artists such as Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Correggio and the French Chardin and Courbet and it was in this period that he began to reflect on the importance of light as a determining factor in his paintings. At the beginning of the 1920s, he began to see his paintings and visited The Third Room at the Caffè Aragno, where he came into contact with Giorgio De Chirico, Giuseppe Ungaretti and Roberto Longhi. In 1924, he achieved success at the XIV Biennale Internazionale d’Arte in Venice with his Tram, in which the desire to turn the image in a metaphysical sense is evident. At the end of the 70s his pictorial cycles became more intense, more restless and tense, these are the years of Meetings, Agitated Figures, Restless Figures. He took part in many important Italian exhibitions and was a member of the Novecento movement. He was very close to the Roman circle of the Comet of the Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt. He died in Venice in 1984.

Virgilio Guidi (Rome, April 4, 1891 - Venice, January 7, 1984) was an Italian painter, poet and essayist. The one who has been called the poet of light has followed complex but coherent research paths, within a figuration that sometimes reaches the limit of abstraction. In short, Guidi affirms himself as an undisputed protagonist of the Italian artistic life. Particularly significant was the participation in the exhibition "Ten artists of the Italian twentieth century", set up by Margherita Sarfatti...

Fantastic Sculpture of a couple of naked lovers kissing, Both nude.
Perfect size, will go perfect in any space.
Francesco Messina (15 December 1900 – 13 September 1995) was an Italian sculptor of the 20th century.
Francesco Messina was born at Linguaglossa in the Province of Catania in a very poor family. Growing up in Genoa, where he also studied and lived until he was 32, he then moved to Milan.
Art historians consider him one of the most important figurative sculptors of Novecento, together with Giacomo Manzù, Arturo Martini, Marino Marini. He is the author of some of the greatest works of the Novecento Italiano[citation needed] and his sculptures are displayed in the most famous museums, among which: Bern, Zürich, Gothenburg, Oslo, Munich, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Venice, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Vienna, Washington, D.C. and Tokyo.
From 1922, he began exhibiting his work regularly at the Biennale Internazionale d'Arte in Venice and between 1926 and 1929 he took part in the expos organised by the art group Novecento Italiano in Milan. In 1932, he moved to Milan, where in 1934 he obtained a tenured professorship 1934 in Sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, of which he became the director within two years.
During those years, about him wrote Carlo Carrà:
Francesco Messina's sculpture is characterised by a simple and grandiose manner, by an idealistic and classic procedure, able to give life to forms which become "ideal images".
In the 1930s, Messina exhibited at important collective expos of Italian art in Barcelona, Berlin, Bern, Gothenburg, Munich, Oslo, Paris, São Paulo, Zurich, while executing various sculptures in many Italian cities. In 1936 he was appointed director of the Accademia di Brera, which position he will keep until 1944. His work was also part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics.[
In 1938, Giorgio de Chirico in Rome and Salvatore Quasimodo in Turin presented two personal exhibitions of Messina's work. In 1942 he won the Sculpture Prize at the XXIII Biennale Internazionale d’arte of Venice, where he exhibited fifteen sculptures and seventeen drawings.
In 1943, Messina was appointed Academic Emeritus of Italy. On the collapse of the fascist regime, he was temporarily dismissed from the academy, only because he had been its director during the fascist period. However, by 1947 he had already regained his professorship. In the same period the artist took part in the Graphic & Sculpture Expo at Buenos Aires, in the Muller Gallery, achieve a noticeable success. In 1949 he exhibited at the 3rd Sculpture International held by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia, together with Marino Marini and Picasso.
Romantica, c. 1973 (Fondazione Cariplo)
In 1956 he participated with a personal exhibition at the XXVIII Biennale di Venezia. In 1963 he produced the great monument to Pope Pius XII for St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, as well as the bust of Pietro Mascagni for the Teatro alla Scala. In the same year he was awarded the Michelangelo Prize for Sculpture in Florence.
In 1966 Messina was commissioned by Italian RAI to create the Cavallo morente (Dying Horse...
