About the Item

Ceramic vase designed and produced by Guerrino Tramonti in 1950, Faenza. Glazed ceramic. Single piece. Original signature. Biography "Master of applied arts" who was involved in the textile art. Painter, ceramist and sculptor, Guerrino Tramonti was born in Faenza on 30 June 1915. In the second half of the 1920s, he attended the Royal School of Ceramics in Faenza where he learned about colors from the master Anselmo Bucci. Among the teachers of reference for the artistic future of the young man, stands out also the figure of the sculptor Domenico Rambelli. However, Tramonti is mainly self-taught. He exhibited as a sculptor at regional and national exhibitions from an early age: in 1931, at the age of just sixteen, he won the "Rimini" prize; in 1932 and 1934 he won the 1st prize at the "Rubicone" competition in the city of Rimini. On this last occasion he receives but declines the invitation of Arturo Martini, member of the jury, to follow him in his studio in Milan. In 1938, at the age of just over twenty, he was awarded at the 1st National Ceramics Competition held by the city of Faenza. In this event is appreciated "the synthetic frankness of certain figures", a group of works in terracotta and polychrome enamels, performed at Albisola in the "Casa d'Arte Agnino & Barile", where for about a year Tramonti had moved to work as a modeler. The sculpture awarded, a "Head of young girl", goes from the competition to the collections of the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza but will be destroyed during the last world war. Between 1944 and 1947 he moved to Venice, where he attended the studio of Filippo De Pisis, whom he had already met several times during his exhibitions in Emilia-Romagna since 1933. In 1951 he opened his studio in via Tolosano, in Faenza. Called to art teaching, you will be able to become a professor and then director, choosing "school": to transmit knowledge, research and passion necessary for a creative choice and a didactic exercise of conceptual revolt. In the same year he was appointed plastic teacher at the School of Art of Civita Castellana and then Castelli d'Abruzzo, ceramic centers at the gates of Rome. He frequented the best artistic and cultural circles of the capital, thanks also to the friendship of the painter Franco Gentilini with whom he had relations since his adolescence. During the following decades, until the end of the sixties, when he finished his work as a ceramist to dedicate himself to painting, he received a series of awards including twice the "Faenza Prize", in 1952 (with works realized in collaboration with Antonio Scordia) and in 1955 (ex-aequo with Carlo Negri). In 1956 the Roman publisher De Luca published a monograph, with a presentation by Leonardo Sinisgalli, in the series "Artists of today". In 1958 he opened the studio in via Fratelli Rosselli in Faenza and was transferred to the school of Cagli and to the Art Institute of Forlì, the following year. In the 1960s artistic research reached new heights, going from majolica decorated with glazes under thick windows to new high-temperature materials such as stoneware and porcelain. The decade from 1960 to 1970 saw Tramonti’s ceramics shift towards "the absolute" ceramic with forms that become sculptures, polychrome and faded enamels and the effects of crystallizations. In 1964, Japan plans a travelling exhibition to celebrate the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games and pays homage to him by choosing his works from among the artists of the world who best represent the Japanese spirit. In 1968 he left ceramics and for a decade returned to painting, devoting himself entirely to the pictorial research. In 1971 he was presented by critics as a complete artistic figure and in the 70s he exhibited only paintings. His painting is called surreal, wrinkled to the touch like his ceramics of yesteryear, vivid colors as those of large glazed plates. In the 1970s and 1980s, ceramics returned but as a personal reflection, revisiting the techniques used in the 1950s with the addition of the prevailing use of writing. In 1987, during the last years of its operation, it created a monumental Crucifix in refractory ceramic polychrome majolica, an excellent example of sacred art that redeems the ceramic sculpture from the role of simple architectural embellishment. On 17 October 1992, Guerrino Tramonti died and the Museo Tramonti was founded in his home-workshop in Faenza.
