Emilio Vedova Biography

(b Venice, 9 Aug 1919). Italian painter and printmaker. He was the son of an artisan and was essentially self-taught as an artist. In his early drawings, inspired by Venetian churches, for example San Moisè (1937–8; artist’s col., see Schulz-Hoffmann and others, fig. 1), the artist investigated the dynamics of space, concentrating his attention on bands of lines and coagulated structures; in his studies based on the work of Old Masters, for example Moses Making Water Spring from the Rock (after Tintoretto) (1942; Florence, Col. della Ragione), the figures are intended to be energy nuclei in their own right or in virtual expansion. It is above all in his encounter with the dense colour of Georges Rouault and Maurice de Vlaminck, however, that he expanded the neo-Baroque quality of his works into new imaginary realms.
