About the artist

Aldo Salvadori

Italian

1095-2002

Aldo Savladori was born in Milan, Italy in 1905 and from a young age he was very interested in Renaissance master painters from Florence. He later moved to Florence to refine his understanding of the Renaissance at the Istituto d’Arte di Firenze where he copied a handful of legendary painters such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Leondardo, Titian, and Botticelli to name a few. In 1926, at age 21, he traveled to Paris to experience the focal point of new artistic turbulence. Surprisingly, Salvadori’s experiences in Paris did not pull him into the newest artistic trend; he was instead inspired by Impressionist painting. Although he saw the emergence and passage of many artistic movements, he never aligned himself fully with any of them. Key aspects of his work include figurative representation, fragmentation, and an unconventional use of perspective. Until his death in 2002, Salvadori earned numerous honors, and his work was exhibited in many national and international exhibitions. His paintings and prints can be found at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Rome, the Uffizi in Florence, the Castello Sforzesco in Milan and other major galleries and collections around the world.
