Additional Information
Artist: Aurelio Catti (1895-1966)
Born in Palermo in 1895, son of the painter Michele Catti and the Palermo noblewoman Anna Contarino, Aurelio, unlike his brothers, followed in his father's footsteps. He soon went to Milan to attend architecture courses at the Brera Academy and later settled in Trieste, participating in the "I Exhibition of Armed Artists and Craftsmen" and obtaining an honorary diploma. Back in Milan, he managed to build a following in the middle class, who willingly bought his landscapes and urban views. In the same years he made a study trip to London. Back in Sicily, he worked as a painter and restorer, supported by the fame of his father. In Palermo he exhibited in personal exhibitions or sometimes with the master Udine. He resumed his father's production, influenced by the painting of De Nittis and Leto. His palette is based on grays and cold colors. His paintings mostly depict urban spaces marked by rain and traversed by fast-moving people. The works of Aurelio Catti can be found in collections in northern Italy and Sicily.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
