BOHEMIA - GUARENE D'ALBA
Professional painter - (Wlaschim in Bohemia, 14/10/1905 – Guarene d’Alba, 1986). Son of a renowned Austrian physician, he was forced by his father to undertake classical studies and enroll in university. In 1919, during a trip to Paris, he met Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso and Amedeo Modigliani, being impressed by the Italian painter’s work. That experience proved decisive in making art the central purpose of his life. To realize this aspiration, Professor Triska intervened, convincing his mother to allow him to devote himself to painting. After experimenting with expressionism, cubism and surrealism, he arrived at the formulation of new theories such as Quintalism and Perceptibilism and their application in painting. He organized solo exhibitions and participated in group shows and art fairs in Italy and in the major European cities, earning prestigious prizes and recognitions, including in 1975 the Gold Medal of the Diplomatic Press; the Europa Prize in the Capitoline Hill (Campidoglio) in Rome, the International Oscar Europa Prize for Art in London in 1975, and many others. His works are in public and private collections.
