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.

DE CORSI NICOLA (NICOLAS)
Odessa (Ucraina) 1882 - Napoli 1956
Tardo erede della tradizione posillipiana, fu presente alle promotrici napoletane dal 1904 al 1916 e alle mostre di Roma (1905, Effetto di sera), di Milano (1906, Impressioni notturne a Napoli) e di Torino (1908, Sera d'inverno a San Giorgio La Molara).

Nei paesaggi, spesso eseguiti a Napoli e nei dintorni (Marina, Napoli, Comune; Domenica nel villaggio, Roma, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna), focalizzò la sua ricerca sugli effetti della luce, adottando anche la tecnica del colore diviso (Barche all'ormeggio, Napoli, Circolo Artistico Politecnico).
