About the Item
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Claudio Botta (Italian, 1891–1958) was an Italian sculptor and painter. Son of Battista Botta and Maria Martinelli, from 10 to 14 he works as an apprentice in a delicatessen, while from 14 to 18 he joins his father who emigrated to New York where he tries various trades without learning, as he himself would have confessed, not even one. In 1909 he returned to Italy and settled in Brescia, working in the day at the Piccola Speed train station and studying drawing and sculpture by himself in the evening. After a few years he manages to enter the workshop of the sculptor Achille Regosa, dedicating himself more continuously to art but living "on the bill, passion and sacrifice". He then moved to Milan for a few years, where he lives as a bohemian selling his statuettes on the street.
Back in Brescia, he devoted himself completely to the study of art under the protection of the sculptor Domenico Ghidoni. The first work of this period is Little Belgium, followed by the Sleeping Child and the busts of the bishops Giacomo Maria Corna Pellegrini Spandre and Giacinto Gaggia. After the First World War, he won the competition for the construction of the bust of Cesare Battisti to be placed at the foot of the Castle of Brescia, which was then canceled, repeated and won again by him. He received the first prize as the best work at the trade union exhibition in Brescia, the second prize in the national competition for the monument to Guglielmo Oberdan and in the competition for the monument to Edmondo De Amicis of Imperia, fifth in the competition for the Redeemer of Bienno. Instead, he wins the first prize at the Universal Exposition in Brussels with the work Maternity.
Among the numerous exhibitions of his works, we remember those at the Venice Biennale, the Milan Triennale, Turin, Florence, Rome and in Fiume. According to the critic Bianca Spataro, Botta "remained faithful to his ideal of simple and human truth throughout his life, without allowing himself to be attracted by the most advanced and controversial forms of contemporary art" even though his work does not lack a taste for symbolism.
Claudio Botta was also a painter "rich in personality, of in-depth examination both in city visions and in portraits with a broad and summary stroke". A Street in Brescia is dedicated to Claudio Botta.
