Costantino Spada was born in Sassari on 28 October 1922. He showed his interest in art since he was a teenager, drawing figures on walls and pavements in the streets with coloured chalks. In 1940 there was his first important commission: to decorate the sacristy of the parish church of San Donato in the historic centre of Sassari with scenes from the life of Christ. During the years of his studies, Costantino Spada was fascinated and influenced by the great exponents of the 20th-century Sardinian painting, especially the masters and his teachers Stanis Dessy and Filippo Figari, as well as Giuseppe Biasi. After the war, Spada approached the Neo-Cubist movement. In 1949 he was part of the group of Sardinian artists who exhibited in the premises of Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Piazza San Marco, Venice. In 1950 Neo-Cubism lost its edge and Spada returned to realism, creating several very nice, charming and sunny easel works, because he added vivid and fluid colours to his palette. Although he was an appreciated and highly regarded artist, Spada has always remained genuine, he is remembered by the people of Sassari for his unconventionality that has brought him very close to ordinary people. He died at the young age of 53 on 21 October 1975, a few days before his 54th birthday. The work I’m proposing is a small painting that oozes joy and makes the viewer happy. The painting will be delivered with also the certificate of guarantee signed by Galleria Ghelfi of Montecatini. The painting is part of my private collection and considered as a private sale.
