Les Italiens de Paris<\/b><\/h1>\n

Les Italiens de<\/span><\/i> Paris <\/span><\/i>was a group of Italian artists who introduced the <\/span>great 14th- and 15th-century Italian style<\/b> of Piero della Francesca and Giotto to Paris <\/span>between 1928 and 1933.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They used traditional methods to reinterpret the <\/span>classical<\/b> in a contemporary way<\/span>, reinventing a truly Italian style envied by the French.<\/b><\/p>\n

Though part of a group, each artist was strongly individual and the school was diverse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The members were part of the great <\/span>\u00c9cole de Paris<\/span><\/i>, which also included French artists like Matisse <\/em><\/span>and Derain.<\/span><\/i> Leading avant-garde painters in Paris opposed more traditionalist painters because they feared them; they were at the extreme end of a new expression that was leading the way toward new modern and contemporary painting. We could say that they made <\/span>Italian painting international<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paris in the early 20th century<\/b><\/h2>\n

Paris was an important destination for Italian and international artists in the early 20th century.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who was this group of seven artists, “Les Italiens de Paris”?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The members were Mario Tozzi, Ren\u00e9 Paresce, <\/span>Filippo de Pisis<\/span>, Gino Severini, Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Savinio, and Massimo Campigli.<\/span><\/p>\n

While part of a movement, they remained strongly individual.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us meet these seven artists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mario Tozzi<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Mario Tozzi<\/a> (Fossombrone 1895- Saint Jean du Gard 1979) was the group’s organizer. He arrived in Paris in the 1920s and immediately set out to build a cultural bridge between Italy and France.<\/span><\/p>\n

Filippo de Pisis<\/b><\/h3>\n

Filippo de Pisis<\/a><\/b> (Ferrara 1896-Milan 1956) arrived in Paris in 1925. He considered himself an aesthete and was the most <\/span>Paris<\/span><\/i>ian and the most delicate member of the group. His scenes of Paris are extraordinary.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Filippo

Ren\u00e9 Paresce<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ren\u00e9 Paresce (Carouge 1886-Paris 1937) was an artist, physicist, writer, and journalist. He wrote for the <\/span>Daily Telegraph<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>La Stampa<\/span><\/i>. He lived in London and then visited the United States and wrote a book called <\/span>L\u2019altra America <\/span><\/i>(The Other America). De Chirico asked Paresce where he should go when he visited the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

His art blends Futurism, Cubism, Metaphysics, and Surrealism His compositions depict dreamlike narratives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gino Severini <\/b><\/h3>\n

Gino Severini \u00a0(Cortona 1883-Paris 1966) arrived in Paris in 1906 and became a naturalized French citizen after marrying the daughter of Paul Fort, the “prince of poets”<\/span> who walked around Paris with a duck on a leash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Severini signed the Futurist Manifesto and is one of the five artists in the famous photo.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Gino

Massimo Campigli<\/b><\/h3>\n

Massimo Campigli (Berlin 1895-Saint-Tropez 1971) arrived in Paris at the end of World War I. He was an artist and writer\u00a0 And, like Paresce, was a correspondent for the <\/span>Corriere della Sera<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Massimo

\u00a0Giorgio de Chirico<\/b><\/h3>\n

Giorgio de Chirico <\/b>arrived<\/span> in Paris in 1912 after having worked there and in Milan. He developed iconographical ideas for the metaphysical painting that would change European art. He was also courted by the Surrealists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alberto Savinio<\/b><\/h3>\n

Alberto Savinio,<\/span> Giorgio de Chirico’s brother, created the play<\/span> Quando partir\u00e0 il treno per Parigi<\/span><\/i> (When the Train to Paris leaves) in 1914 using a text by Guillaume Apollinaire and his own music. It is said that his performance was so violent he left traces of blood on the piano. His compositions depict dreamlike narratives.<\/span><\/p>\n

How were they received in Paris?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Les Italiens de Paris<\/i><\/b> attracted attention for conflict within the group.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1927, De Chirico declared in an interview for the magazine Comoedia:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cModern Italian painting does not exist; it’s just me and Modigliani and we are practically French.”<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

“Italiens de Paris” – The first exhibition<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first exhibition opened at <\/span>the Salon de l’escalier at the Louis-Jouvet Theater<\/b> in 1928 with the title \u201cItalians of Paris.” Naturally, Giorgio De Chirico was not there. The group of seven officially no longer existed, and the Italiens de Paris<\/strong> group was born.<\/span><\/p>\n
