Additional Information
Artist: Ardengo Soffici (1879-1964)
Writer and painter born in Rignano sull'Arno in 1879, Ardengo Soffici left school early to freely study painting; from 1903 to 1907 he lived in Paris; back in Italy, he was one of the main collaborators of the Voce and founded in 1913, with G. Papini, Lacerba; an interventionist and fighter in the 1915-18 war, he was a collaborator, from its foundation, with the Popolo d'Italia, and a staunch supporter of fascism; in 1939 he was appointed Academician of Italy. His first activity was as an art critic, intended to demolish the usurped famines and to illustrate or enhance some of the major personalities of French impressionism and post-impressionism. Soffici passed through various avant-garde experiences, from Futurism to Cubism, gradually becoming an ardent advocate of them, to then fall back, after the war, on traditional positions. Even as a writer and poet Soffici found in his impressions, memories, landscapes, quick sketches and portraits his congenial measure of lyrical fragmentist, in love, despite a certain pessimism, with life and nature and inclined to "place words like the painter colors". S.'s pictorial production corresponds to that singular position, which he assumed in the literary and critical field, of non-conformism, never drastic, however, with respect to tradition. Cézanne is, among the masters of Paris, the one whose teaching was for him the most fruitful, so much so that it resurfaces from time to time in his best paintings.
