The following year, the family returned to Sicily, first to Santo Stefano Quisquina, near Agrigento, and a few years later to Palermo. There, the young Attardi was admitted to the Art School. In 1941, he enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture, but was forced to interrupt his studies due to the war. In 1945, he moved to Rome, where he began working as a painter and participated in the cultural ferment of those years. On March 15, 1947, he founded the magazine \"Forma. Mensile di Arti Figurative\" in Rome with Carla Accardi, Pietro Consagra, Piero Dorazio, Mino Guerrini, Achille Perilli, Antonio Sanfilippo, and Giulio Turcato. Together, he signed the manifesto that appeared in the first and only issue, giving rise to the abstract-oriented movement \"Forma Uno.\" This experience was short-lived because his nature pushed him toward other awarenesses and visions, leading him to abandon Abstraction and return to the social themes of Neorealism. In 1952 and 1954, he participated in the Venice Biennale, where he was invited again in 1987. He exhibited in Rome in 1951 at the Galleria Pincio and in 1956 at the Galleria la Tartaruga. During these same years, he began his engraving career, which continues to this day and which, thanks to his mastery of the mark, makes Attardi one of the most complex and significant engravers in Italian art. From the early 1960s, he participated in numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad: Prague, Moscow, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. In 1961, together with other artists and art critics, he founded the \"Il Pro e il Contro\" movement, participating in every exhibition until 1965, when the group disbanded. In 1965, after a stay in Spain, he decided to reread the classics of Spanish literature and study the reasons for the collapse of that great empire. This led to the emergence of the dominant themes he would later explore in his sculptures: conquest, the abuse of power, and travel. Between 1964 and 1967, he wrote the novel \u003cem\u003eThe Wild Heir\u003c\/em\u003e , which won him the Viareggio Prize for fiction in 1971...Click to continue reading \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.venderequadri.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Ugo-Attardi.pdf\" rel=\"\"\u003eUgo Attardi\u003c\/a\u003e 's biography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bandiera Giovanni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56210290311554,"sku":"GBAN003","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/11211072008120545_piccola6.jpg?v=1768388437","url":"https:\/\/venderequadri.it\/en\/products\/ugo-attardi-senza-titolo-6","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
