Arturo Bollati - Venice

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Arturo Bollati stands out for his landscape painting, in which he seeks characteristic views and scenes, imbued with a distinctive lyricism. Hence his penchant for picturesque views and evocative framing. Formally, this translates into an impressionistic, highly animated and dynamic style that ensures freshness and immediacy of execution. His brushstrokes are therefore characterized by a remarkably cursive touch, made up of sudden flickers, effectively capturing the vibrations of light on objects. This is particularly evident in the rendering of foliage or the reflections in the pond's water. The entire composition is imbued with a calm sentimentality and a freshness deriving from the artist's technical prowess.

Bollart is the pen name of Arturo Bollati, born in Canegrate in 1904. An artist from a wealthy family (relatives of Minister Bollati), in his youth he left his family to join a tribe of gypsies, where he began his career as a painter. Bollati devoted himself primarily to landscapes and genre scenes, with a highly lyrical vision of phenomenal reality. Translating emotions into images through a vibrant, cursive style inspired by Impressionism is essential for this artist.
