          Giovanni Alicò (Catania 1906-Milano 1971) - Sketch by Padron 'Ntoni, 1960

          Est: -

          Ink drawing on paper The 1960 painting is exhibited in the Azienda Provinciale Turismo di Catania collection. Giovanni Alicò was born in Catania in 1906. A self-taught painter, his approach to art is free from constraints or pre-constructed binaries. In 1935 he settled first in Naples and then in Milan. In 1942 he was present with a work at the XXIII Venice Biennale, and in the same year he held his first solo exhibition at the Tornabuoni Gallery in Florence. This was followed, between 1948 and 1953, by six years of activity in Argentina, with three solo exhibitions in Buenos Aires and many participations in collective exhibitions in various national salons in the cities of La Rioja, Santa Fè, Mendoza and Rosario. Having returned to Italy, from the mid-1950s and throughout the following decade there were several solo exhibitions in Catania, Milan, Rome and Como. He was awarded the Suzzara Prize in 1955 with the work Farmer who rests, where the painter, freed from a cold realistic description and far from the neo-cubist schemes typical of the post-war period, abandons himself to a painting of luministic suggestion, with large backgrounds of greens, of greys, of earths, supported by a dense pictorial material defined by a thick contour line. The painting is currently preserved in the Civic Gallery of Contemporary Art in Suzzara. In 1957 he exhibited at the Galleria il Pincio in Piazza del Popolo in Rome, one of the most active in the art exhibition scene, where Renato Guttuso and Carla Accardi also exhibited. He began his artistic journey by depicting carts with colorful puppet stories in his paintings using preferably flat colours, subsequently introducing delicate, vibrant colors into his palette and focusing on themes pervaded by a marked spirituality. His favorite subjects are female figures, still lifes and landscapes. In the 1950s Giovanni Alicò brought his style closer to that of Guttuso, in the context of social realism. His attention is towards a synthetic figurative painting, which proceeds through suggestions in general adherence to the themes of social realism. After 1960, an important poetics made of arabesques and luminous and chromatic effects and shaded furniture entered his work. Since 1967, anthropomorphic characters, sort of ghosts, have appeared on these backgrounds, hovering in the space of the composition. The artist's latest production is instead characterized by paintings where signs, repeated geometric shapes and large spots of color are rendered with intense and vivid colours, resulting in outcomes of an informal and material nature. Giovanni Alicò died in Catania in 1971. After his death, an important retrospective was held at the Palazzo della Borsa in Catania in 1973. Many of his works are present in important private collections in Europe and America and in various art foundations.

Six years of activity in Argentina followed between 1948 and 1953, with three solo shows in Buenos Aires and many participations in group exhibitions in various national exhibitions in the cities of La Rioja, Santa Fè, Mendoza and Rosario. He returned to Italy, from the mid-fifties and throughout the following decade, several were his personal exhibitions in Catania, Milan, Rome and Como. It was the Suzzara Prize in 1955 with the work Contadino che riposa, where the painter, freed from a cold realistic description and far from the neo-Cubism patterns typical of the first post-war period, abandons himself to a painting of luministic suggestion, with large fields of greens, of grays, of earths, supported by a dense pictorial material defined by a thick contour line. The painting is currently kept in the Civic Gallery of Contemporary Art of Suzzara. In 1957 he exhibited at the Galleria il Pincio in Piazza del Popolo in Rome, one of the most active realities in the panorama of art exhibitions, where Renato Guttuso and Carla Accardi also exhibited there. He began his artistic career by depicting in his painting the carts with the colorful stories of the puppets using preferably flat colors, then he introduces in his palette delicate, vibrant colors, and focuses on themes pervaded by a marked spirituality. Favorite subjects are female figures, still lifes and landscapes. In the 1950s, Giovanni Alicò approached his style to that of Guttuso, in the context of social realism. His attention is towards a synthetic figurative painting, which proceeds by suggestions in the general adherence to the themes of social realism. After 1960, an important poetic made of arabesques and luminous and chromatic effects enters his work and shaded furniture. Since 1967 anthropomorphic characters, a sort of ghosts, have appeared on these backgrounds, hovering in the space of the composition. The artist's latest production is instead characterized by paintings where signs, repeated geometric shapes and large splashes of color are rendered with intense and vivid colors, leading to informal and material outcomes. Giovanni Alicò died in Catania in 1971. After his death, an important retrospective was set up at the Palazzo della Borsa in Catania in 1973. Many of his works are present in important private collections in Europe and America and in various art foundations.

His attention is towards a synthetic figurative painting, which proceeds by suggestions in the general adherence to the themes of social realism. After 1960, an important poetic made of arabesques and luminous and chromatic effects enters his work and shaded furniture. Since 1967 anthropomorphic characters, a sort of ghosts, have appeared on these backgrounds, hovering in the space of the composition. The artist's latest production is instead characterized by paintings where signs, repeated geometric shapes and large splashes of color are rendered with intense and vivid colors, leading to informal and material outcomes. Giovanni Alicò died in Catania in 1971. After his death, an important retrospective was set up at the Palazzo della Borsa in Catania in 1973. Many of his works are present in important private collections in Europe and America and in various art foundations.

          Watercolor on cardboard Signed on the lower right Giovanni Alicò was born in Catania in 1906. Self-taught painter, his approach to art is free from pre-built constraints or tracks. In 1935 he settled first in Naples then in Milan. In 1942 he was present with a work at the XXIII Venice Biennale, and in the same year, he held his first personal exhibition at the Tornabuoni Gallery in Florence. Six years of activity in Argentina followed between 1948 and 1953, with three solo shows in Buenos Aires and many participations in group exhibitions in various national exhibitions in the cities of La Rioja, Santa Fè, Mendoza and Rosario. Returning to Italy, from the mid-fifties and throughout the following decade, there were several personal exhibitions in Catania, Milan, Rome and Como. It was the Suzzara Prize in 1955 with the work Contadino che riposa, where the painter, freed from a cold realistic description and far from the neo-Cubism typical of the first post-war period, abandons himself to a painting of luministic suggestion, with large fields of greens, of grays, of earths, supported by a dense pictorial material defined by a thick contour line. The painting is currently kept in the Civic Gallery of Contemporary Art of Suzzara. In 1957 he exhibited at the Galleria il Pincio in Piazza del Popolo in Rome, one of the most active realities in the panorama of art exhibitions, where Renato Guttuso and Carla Accardi also exhibited.

          Alicò, Giovanni (Catania 1906-Milano 1971) - Landscape with houses, 60's

          Est: -

          Oil painting on canvas Signed lower left and dated 1947. Giovanni Alicò was born in Catania in 1906. A self-taught painter, his approach to art is free from pre-built constraints or tracks. In 1935 he settled first in Naples then in Milan. In 1942 he was present with a work at the XXIII Venice Biennale, and in the same year, he held his first personal exhibition at the Tornabuoni Gallery in Florence. Six years of activity in Argentina followed between 1948 and 1953, with three solo shows in Buenos Aires and many participations in group exhibitions in various national exhibitions in the cities of La Rioja, Santa Fè, Mendoza and Rosario. Returning to Italy, from the mid-fifties and throughout the following decade, there were several personal exhibitions in Catania, Milan, Rome and Como. It was the Suzzara Prize in 1955 with the work Contadino che riposa, where the painter, freed from a cold realistic description and far from the neo-Cubism patterns typical of the first post-war period, abandons himself to a painting of luministic suggestion, with large fields of greens, of grays, of earths, supported by a dense pictorial material defined by a thick contour line. The painting is currently kept in the Civic Gallery of Contemporary Art of Suzzara. In 1957 he exhibited at the Galleria il Pincio in Piazza del Popolo in Rome, one of the most active realities in the panorama of art exhibitions, where Renato Guttuso and Carla Accardi also exhibited. He began his artistic career by depicting in his painting the carts with the colorful stories of the puppets using preferably flat colors, then he introduces in his palette delicate, vibrant colors, and focuses on themes pervaded by a marked spirituality. Favorite subjects are female figures, still lifes and landscapes. In the 1950s, Giovanni Alicò approached his style to that of Guttuso, in the context of social realism. His attention is towards a synthetic figurative painting, which proceeds by suggestions in the general adherence to the themes of social realism. After 1960, an important poetic made of arabesques and luminous and chromatic effects enters his work and shaded furniture. Since 1967 anthropomorphic characters, a sort of ghosts, have appeared on these backgrounds, hovering in the space of the composition. The artist's latest production is instead characterized by paintings where signs, repeated geometric shapes and large splashes of color are rendered with intense and vivid colors, leading to informal and material outcomes.
