Alfonso Pozzi (1925 – ?) was an Italian painter, active mainly in the second half of the 20th century, known for his expressionist style and the distinctive use of spatula technique.
Here are the main traits of his life and artistic production:
Biografia e Carriera
• Origins: Born in Rovescala (Pavia) in 1925.
• Training: He was an autodidact painter, developing a personal style outside traditional academic paths.
• Activities in Milan: He lived and worked for a long time in Milan (his historic studio was on Via Aselli). The city deeply influenced his poetics, making him a well-known figure in post-war Milanese art.
• Recognitions: In 1981 he received the Ambrogino d’Oro from the Municipality of Milan, awarded at the Ambrosiana Academy of Art, testimony to his link with the city.
Stile e Soggetti
• Technique: His hallmark is oil with a spatula. This method gives his canvases a textured, almost sculptural quality, with dense layers of color that capture light in a dynamic way.
• Current: He is often cataloged within expressionist painterly tradition, where color and application prevail over precise drawing to convey the moment’s emotion.
• Themes:
• Lombard landscapes: Famous are his views of the Navigli and the corners 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.
Notes Critiche
Critics and art journalists such as Mario Portalupi, Walter Alberti and Antonino De Bono have written about him. His works are today in various private collections and periodically appear at auctions of modern and contemporary art (with estimates generally accessible, typical of local 20th-century collecting).
