Virgilio Guidi<\/b><\/h1>\n

Rome 1891-Venice 1984 painter<\/p>\n

Guidi trained as a painter under Giulio Aristide Sartorio at Rome’s fine arts academy and was influenced by Armando Spadini before developing his own style in response to the work of Piero della Francesca and Giotto.<\/p>\n

\"Virgilio
Testa di donna 1934<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He began exhibiting in 1915 at the First International Secession exhibition in Rome, after which he took part in all the important art shows like the Rome and Venice biennials, the Quadriennale di Roma, and the Sindacale del Lazio. Guidi quickly established himself as a clear star of the Italian art world.<\/p>\n

\"Virgilio
Natura morta 1922<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We can see a metaphysical desire to displace the image in works like The Airship (1922) and especially On the Tram<\/strong> (1923, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna). The latter, shown in 1924 at the Venice Biennale, is a metaphysical masterpiece of the 1920s and was a benchmark for younger Roman painters like Di Cocco, Mazzacurati, and the tonalists.<\/p>\n

He left Rome in the late 1920s when he was hired to take over from Ettore Tito<\/strong> as head of painting at the fine arts academy in Venice.<\/p>\n
