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.

BRENDA PIETRO
Attivo a Roma fra il 1880 e il 1913
Inizialmente legato al paesaggio della campagna romana (Pineta di Castel Fusano, Palude, esposti alla mostra della Società Amatori e Cultori nel 1886) indirizzò le sue ricerche successive alle marine e ai temi di denuncia sociale, scurendo la gamma cromatica e ricercando forme più espressive (Rifiuti del mare, esposto a Roma nel 1900, Ascoli Piceno, Pinacoteca Civica, in deposito dalla Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna di Roma). Seguitò a esporre a Roma, per Io meno fino al 1913, con la Società Amatori e Cultori (Lavori forzati, La via, 1901) e con l’Associazione degli Acquarellisti (Elementi di furia, 1903).
