Alfonso Pozzi (1925 – ?) was an Italian painter, active mainly in the second half of the 20th century, known for his expressionist style and distinctive use of palette knife technique.
Here are the main highlights of his life and artistic production:
Biography and Career
• Origins: Born in Rovescala (Pavia) in 1925.
• Training: He was self-taught, developing a personal style outside traditional academic paths.
• Activity in Milan: He lived and worked for a long time in Milan (his historic studio was on Via Aselli). The city profoundly influenced his poetics, making him a well-known figure in postwar Milanese art.
• Recognitions: In 1981 he received the Ambrogino d’Oro from the Municipality of Milan, awarded at the Ambrosiana Academy of Art, testifying to his ties with the city.
Stile e Soggetti
• Technique: His hallmark is oil with a spatula. This method gives his paintings a tactile, almost sculptural texture, with dense layers of color that capture light in a dynamic way.
• Current: He is often cataloged within expressionist painterly circles, where color and brushwork take precedence over precise drawing to convey the emotion of the moment.
• Themes:
• Lombard landscapes: He is celebrated for his views of the Navigli and glimpses of old Milan.
• Rural subjects: Scenes of countryside, rivers, mountains and farmhouses, often rendered with a melancholic or vibrant atmosphere.
• Figures: Rare but present, often placed in urban or working contexts.
Critical Notes
Critics and art journalists such as Mario Portalupi, Walter Alberti, and Antonino De Bono have written about him. His works are today in several private collections and periodically appear at auctions of modern and contemporary art (with estimates generally accessible, typical of 20th-century local collecting).
