September 2-30, 2010
\nUrbino \u2013 Italy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Italian<\/a>Celebrated as one of the most important Italian artist of the 20th century, Guerrino Tramonti was a a ceramicists, a sculptor and a painter.<\/p>\n

This retrospective exhibition displays more than 60 ceramics made between 1930 and 1970, the highest peak of Tramonti\u2019s artistic production.<\/p>\n

The terracotta sculptures, ceramics, and stoneware on display in Urbino show the strong personality of a man who always interpreted his time with a powerful, Mediterranean modernity. He won his first prize at sixteen and since then he never stopped exploring new trends and new techniques, with enthusiasm and talent.<\/p>\n

Born in Faenza in 1915, Guerrino Tramonti moved to Rome in the Forties.
\nHe had already won many prizes with his works, this allowing him to be immediately welcomed in the artistic environment of the capital.<\/div>\n

\"Italian<\/a>Between the Thirties and the Forties he was influenced by Arturo Martini and the \u201carcheological\u201d nostalgia, especially for Etruscan art.<\/p>\n

After World War II he observed the work of Riccardo Gatti and Pietro Melandri in Faenza, who were very much into lusterware. He soon gave his own interpretation of this sophisticated technique, while creating also some outstanding majolicas covered in thick glazes.
\nHis primitive designs and shapes and his simple color palette \u2013 yellow, red, white and pale blue \u2013 were certainly a tribute to Guido Gambone, whom he considered to be the best ceramicist of his century.<\/p>\n

In the Fifties he was appointed Director of the Art Institute in Castelli, Abruzzo. \"Italian<\/a>Here he started experimenting with his students and fellow artists and came up with \u201cThe third ceiling of San Donato\u201d a 100 square meter large ceiling made of 265 large ceramic tiles<\/a>, a modern tribute to the \u201cceramic Sistine Chapel\u201d of the little chuch of San Donato in Castelli.<\/p>\n

His decorative disks<\/a> also belong to this artistic phase. He complemented his taste for archaism, with the lessons of Picasso, Braque and Catalan medieval painting, as well described by Prof. G.C. Bojani, curator of the exhibition and author of the catalogue. Tramonti canceled the perspective from his circular shapes and chose to break the unity of the images thru the use of crackle finishes, technical initiatives that became his aesthetic signature.<\/p>\n

\"Italian<\/a>His last ceramics are dominated by Far Eastern influences. China, Japan and Korea offered their cultural hints, that Tramonti filtered with the formal purism that was very popular in the Sixties and Seventies. He worked very much with stoneware, that better fit his need to \u201csculpt\u201d his ideas.<\/p>\n

Tramonti stopped making pottery at the end of the Seventies because he thought that he \u201ccouldn\u2019t do better than that\u201d. He painted instead, changing the medium, but certainly not his power of expression.\u00a0 A small collection of his paintings on display at the exhibition offers a positive comparison between the different and complementary mediums used by this great artist.<\/p>\n
