| Oil on canvas, 27" x 39" and 36" x 48" framed. Signed lower right. bio from askart.com: Guido Odierna was a noted painter, born November 13th, 1913 in Capri, Italy, known for his seascapes in oil, landscapes, still lifes, botanical, coastal and fishing boat scenes in places such as Capri, Naples, Florence, Rome, the Amalfi coast and Venice to name a few. Guido studied at the Royal Academy and with the great seascape painter Cavalier Michele Federico (Italian, 1884-1966), and also in the studio of well known artist Konstantin Ivanovich Gorbatov (Russian, 1876-1945) who was one of the outstanding painters of Capri (sometimes listed as Constantin Ivanovich Gorbatoff).? Guido loved the sea, and he interpreted and captured Capri with her fierce rocks and seaside cliffs along the translucent sea, the mountains of the Piemonte region (or Piedmont) which starkly rise into the blue sky, the golden glow of Rome and the mother of pearl hues of Venice--all with equal poetic passion. His love of the sea shows in his seascapes where the waters take on their own personalities. The waters of Capri, Trieste, Chioggia and Venice all feature prismatic impressions and sensations within his paintings along with expressed inspiration and fine technique—truly, a master of his palette and brush. His paintings of Capri depict many different areas of the island and made up a large part of his body of work. Guido lived in Capri and maintained his art gallery there throughout the summer season with his family. During the winters, he maintained his other art gallery in Rome where he displayed and sold his own works along with other artists that he represented. His days were often characterized by taking long early morning walks with his two dogs which he thoroughly loved doing. When in Capri he would often climb down over the rocks to the sea and take in its majestic beauty which “…explains the underlying inspiration of the artist, his affinity with nature, his choice of companions whose gaze, rustling movements, or silence, is the language of understanding”[1]. Guido had over 35 solo exhibitions during his career in places such as Rome, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Biella, Vercelli, Catania, Trieste, and group exhibitions in France and the U.S. to name a few. Walter Meibohm would often visit Guido on his annual art buying trips to Europe and purchase many of his works along with other paintings by his represented artists. The Meibohm family maintained a wonderful working relationship and friendship with Guido even after Walter stopped traveling to Europe in the late 1970’s. Guido’s works can be found in numerous public, private and gallery collections around the world. ??Chronology: 1913- Born, November 13th, Capri, Italy. | ||
