Afro Basaldella est un peintre italien et une figure majeure de l\u2019abstraction d\u2019apr\u00e8s-guerre. N\u00e9 \u00e0 Udine en 1912, il meurt \u00e0 Zurich en 1976.<\/p>\n

Connu simplement sous le nom d\u2019Afro, il d\u00e9veloppe une peinture nourrie de souvenirs et de sensations. La couleur y conserve l\u2019empreinte du monde visible, m\u00eame lorsqu\u2019elle s\u2019\u00e9loigne de la figuration.<\/p>\n

Les d\u00e9buts et la Scuola Romana<\/h2>\n

Issu d\u2019une famille d\u2019artistes, Afro se forme \u00e0 Florence et \u00e0 Venise. Ses fr\u00e8res Dino et Mirko se consacrent \u00e0 la sculpture.<\/p>\n

En 1930, une bourse de la Fondation artistique Marangoni lui permet de s\u00e9journer \u00e0 Rome. Il y d\u00e9couvre le milieu de la Scuola Romana<\/a>, qui rassemble plusieurs personnalit\u00e9s de la sc\u00e8ne artistique romaine.<\/p>\n

Trois ans plus tard, il participe \u00e0 une exposition collective \u00e0 la Galleria Il Milione, \u00e0 Milan. Dirig\u00e9e par les fr\u00e8res Ghiringhelli, cette galerie accueille alors plusieurs artistes frioulans.<\/p>\n

En 1937, une exposition personnelle lui est consacr\u00e9e \u00e0 la Galleria della Cometa de Rome<\/a>. Ces ann\u00e9es nourrissent son int\u00e9r\u00eat pour la peinture tonale et les ma\u00eetres anciens.<\/p>\n

Le dialogue avec les ma\u00eetres anciens<\/h2>\n

Son Cristo morto da Mantegna<\/em> t\u00e9moigne de cette \u00e9tude attentive de la tradition. L\u2019organisation de l\u2019espace et les rapports entre les formes accompagnent \u00e9galement ses recherches ult\u00e9rieures.<\/p>\n

En 2023, l\u2019exposition Afro. Dalla meditazione su Piero della Francesca all\u2019Informale<\/em>, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e \u00e0 Arezzo, a explor\u00e9 ce dialogue. Elle \u00e9clairait les liens entre son langage abstrait et l\u2019histoire de la peinture italienne.<\/p>\n

Afro Basaldella et l\u2019abstraction d\u2019apr\u00e8s-guerre<\/h2>\n

D\u00e8s 1950, sa collaboration avec la Catherine Viviano Gallery de New York ouvre une nouvelle \u00e9tape. La rencontre avec la peinture am\u00e9ricaine contribue \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9volution de son langage abstrait.<\/p>\n

En 1956, Afro re\u00e7oit le prix du meilleur peintre italien \u00e0 la Biennale de Venise.<\/p>\n

Dans ses \u0153uvres de maturit\u00e9, les plages lumineuses et les transparences cr\u00e9ent un espace mouvant. Des formes reconnaissables affleurent, sans composer un r\u00e9cit pr\u00e9cis. La couleur sugg\u00e8re des pr\u00e9sences, des distances et des rythmes.<\/p>\n

Le Gruppo degli Otto<\/h2>\n

Constitu\u00e9 en 1952 avec le soutien du critique Lionello Venturi, le Gruppo degli Otto r\u00e9unit huit personnalit\u00e9s. Il rassemble Afro Basaldella, Emilio Vedova, Renato Birolli, Antonio Corpora, Mattia Moreni, Ennio Morlotti, Giuseppe Santomaso et Giulio Turcato.<\/p>\n

Pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s \u00e0 la Biennale de Venise de 1952, ces artistes cherchent \u00e0 d\u00e9passer l\u2019opposition entre abstraction et figuration.<\/p>\n

Venturi associe leur recherche \u00e0 la notion d\u2019astratto-concreto<\/em>. Les formes et les couleurs gagnent en autonomie, tout en gardant un lien avec la nature et l\u2019exp\u00e9rience v\u00e9cue.<\/p>\n

Malgr\u00e9 leurs sensibilit\u00e9s distinctes, les Otto participent au renouvellement de la peinture italienne apr\u00e8s la guerre.<\/p>\n

Afro Basaldella et le Caff\u00e8 Aragno<\/h2>\n

Le lien d\u2019Afro Basaldella avec Rome s\u2019exprime \u00e9galement dans la d\u00e9coration murale. En 1950, il r\u00e9alise des panneaux grav\u00e9s pour le Caff\u00e8 Aragno, install\u00e9 dans le Palazzo Marignoli.<\/p>\n

Restaur\u00e9es, ces \u0153uvres ont \u00e9t\u00e9 int\u00e9gr\u00e9es aux espaces d\u2019Apple Via del Corso, inaugur\u00e9 en mai 2021. Elles conservent ainsi la m\u00e9moire d\u2019un lieu de rencontre de la vie artistique romaine.<\/p>\n
