Dictionary of Artists

 

To meet the requirement of scholars, art dealers, collectors or simple amateurs of having a quick and effective tool at their disposal to satisfy the various exigencies connected with the world of art, first of all the in-depth analysis of the work of painters, sculptors, engravers, photographers, etc., the "Dictionary of artists" puts itself up as an annotated list of names, sometimes accompanied, if marked by an asterisk, by a biography and by some signature examples.

Each artist is matched with a series of index cards regarding the works registered in the Data Bank of the Matteucci Institute, which can be issued on request.

The biographies are taken from the Dizionario degli artisti edited by Cristina Bonagura, integral part of the work Pittori & pittura dell'Ottocento italiano (1996-1997), coordinated by Giuliano Matteucci with the cooperation of Paul Nicholls and realized by the Redazioni Grandi Opere of the "Istituto Geografico De Agostini", to whom the Matteucci Institute expresses its sincere thanks for authorizing the circulation of the texts on line.

BERTA EDOARDO
Giubiasco (Canton Ticino) 1867 - Lugano (Canton Ticino) 1931
Allievo di C. Tallone, prima all’Accademia di Brera a Milano e poi alla Carrara di Bergamo, si mosse inizialmente sulla scia del maestro con studi di figura e di paesaggio proposti alle esposizioni braidensi dal 1888 al 1891. Dagli anni '90 assunse modi divisionisti, prossimi all’area simbolista di K. Amiet e A. Baud- Bovy, e realizzò paesaggi evocativi e temi di intonazione mistica come Funerale bianco (esposto alla Quadriennale di Torino del 1902), o il trittico Risveglio (apparso all’Esposizione Nazionale di Milano del 1912).
