Riccardo Francalancia<\/span><\/h2>\n

Riccardo Francalancia (Assisi 1886 \u2013 Rome 1965)\u00a0 studied in Rome and graduated from the Faculty of Diplomatic Sciences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He gave up a brilliant bank career to devote himself to painting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He spent time at the Bragaglia Art House<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caff\u00e8 Aragno and the Roman School<\/h2>\n

Riccardo Francalancia<\/strong> was part of the intellectual group of the <\/span>Third Salon of Caff\u00e8 Aragno<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0 where he met poets, artists, and intellectuals, including Giorgio de Chirico, Carlo Carr\u00e0, Morandi, Roberto Melli<\/a> and Arturo Martini<\/a>, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Socrate, Albero Spadini<\/a>, Longhi, and, significantly, Mario Broglio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Broglio, who founded the magazine <\/span>Valori Plastici<\/b>, was drawn by Francalancia’s flair for drawing and gave him a chance to exhibit in Italy and abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1921, Mario Broglio invited him to show at the exhibition <\/span>Das junge Italien<\/span><\/i> in several German cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fiorentina Primaverile<\/span><\/h2>\n

The following year, it was again Mario Broglio<\/strong> who presented his group of works at <\/span>Fiorentina Primaverile<\/span><\/i> with the others of the Valori Plastici group.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1925, he exhibited at the Rome Biennale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Novecento italiano<\/span><\/h2>\n

He took part in the <\/span>Novecento Italiano<\/i><\/b>\u00a0exhibition organized by <\/span>Margherita Sarfatti <\/b>(8 April 1880 \u2013 30 October 1961) an Italian journalist and art critic.<\/p>\n

He held his first solo exhibition in 1928 at the Stanze del Libro in Piazza Rondanini in Rome and met with great critical acclaim.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was at the Venice Biennale in 1932 with five paintings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Magic Realism<\/span><\/h2>\n

His name joined those of <\/span>Antonio Donghi<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>Francesco Trombadori<\/b> in the artistic vein known as <\/b>Magic Realism.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Magic realism\u00a0 a term first used by the German critic Franz Roth and then Massimo Bontempelli in Italy to describe painting based on great attention to forms situated in otherwordly, dream-like atmospheres.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His works effectively transfigured objective reality, incorporating it into enchanted atmospheres inspired by Italian 14th- and 15th-century painting.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1935, he took part in the Rome Quadrennial.<\/span><\/p>\n

His second solo exhibition in Rome was at <\/span>the Galleria della Terme<\/span><\/i>, where he showed 21 paintings in 1942.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important of his few solo shows was the one at the <\/span>Gallerie Della Palma<\/span><\/i> in Rome in 1951.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was at major art events in Italy and the leading Italian contemporary art events abroad (Germany, Austria, Argentina, Japan, Greece, and Brazil).<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1959, the Olivetti Cultural Center in Ivrea paid tribute to him with an exhibition that was essentially retrospective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His art also met with Roberto Longhi’s full-throated approval.<\/span><\/p>\n
