- Severini studied in the studio of the Italian painter and interior designer Giacomo Balla. There he met the painter, sculptor and writer Umberto Boccioni. In 1906 Severini moved to Paris. There he made the acquaintance of French Neo-Impressionists and Cubists; He met, among others, the Italian painter, sculptor and draftsman Amadeo Modigliani, Max Jakob and the French painter Georges Braque. In addition to numerous other artists, Gino Severini was one of the signatories of the famous futurist manifesto by the Italian writer and founder of Futurism Emilio Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in Rome in 1910.
Two years later he exhibited at international exhibitions with other Futurist painters. The period from 1910 to 1913 was characterized by Gino Severini's artistic experiments of combining dynamic expressions of Futurism with elements of Cubism. To do this, he also used the collage technique, among other things. His work from this era stood out from other Futurist artists due to its high originality and abstract ideas. This is how the picture entitled "Bal Tabarin" (Museum of Modern Art, New York) was created in 1912. In 1913 Severini had his first solo exhibition at the Marlborough Gallery in London. In 1914 Gino Severini changed his artistic style of expression; from this time on he painted in the expressive style of Cubism.
Nevertheless, he adopted cubist stylistic elements such as the futuristic rhythm and dynamization of the forms. In this way, for example, the works entitled "The War" and "Train of the Wounded" (1914) were created. The latter work is now in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. The dynamic elements in his pictures from this phase represent the lively hectic pace of modern life. During this time, Gino Severini also cultivated the strictly geometric style. Around 1920 he turned away from the expressive character of cubist and futurist elements and was inspired by Pablo Picasso's works. Severini followed the neoclassical painting style of the Valori Plastici movement. It got its name from Mario Broglio's magazine.
The movement was close to Pittura metafisica and opposed expressionism, futurism and cubism. In their artistic activities, the artists returned to the national tradition of the Quattrocento. As a neoclassicist, Gino Severini created wall paintings with religious motifs. He created works for the Capuchin Church in Sion and created mosaics for the Milan Palace of Justice. From 1930 onwards, under the repeated influence of Pablo Picasso, Severini rediscovered Cubism, which he painted in a decorative character. From 1945 onwards he changed his style of expression again and joined the abstract artists of Abstraction-Création.
In 1946 he left Italy and settled in Paris. In the same year his autobiography entitled "Tutta la vita di un pittore" was published. In 1955 he took part in the first documenta exhibition in Kassel. - Vladimiro Picciafuochi was born on 5 July 1921 in Cortona, Italy.
