Bruno saetti
He was born in Bologna where he exhibited for the first time at the age of 25 after graduating at the local Academy of Fine Arts; the exhibition is organized by the Francesco Francia Promoting Society for Fine Arts. He will be admitted to the Venice Biennale and to 14 other editions one year after his first solo exhibition.
He won the Baruzzi Prize In 1929 and the following year was called to teach at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice thanks to his fame due to the participation in the Barcelona International Exhibition; in the early 1950s he also took over the direction of the Academy.
Defined as the fresco master thanks to his extraordinary technique, Saetti created the Holy Family at the University of Padua in 1958 and the Colloquio con l’angelo, frescoed on canvas at the Gallery of Modern Art in Bologna in 1974.
Saetti made important wall frescoes in sacred buildings such as Sant’Eugenio in Rome and Santa Maria delle Grazie in Bologna; elsewhere he used the technique of fresco on canvas, for example the Madre veneziana, work of 1937, exhibited at the Municipal Art Gallery Modern in Rome.
In 1970 the Japanese government invited him to participate, as an esteemed fresco specialist, in the conference held at the University of Tokyo.
Saetti also ranges to other branches of graphics such as drawings, engravings, lithographs and also engages in glass decoration and in the creation of mosaics.
As a painter of sacred art he participated in various exhibitions and he performed a mosaic relief in glass paste in Florence, in the church of San Giovanni Battista in 1961 .
1971 is the date of the publication of his monograph by Giuseppe Marchiori.
He took part in major international exhibitions that the Venice Biennale organized in the capitals of Eastern Europe and Vienna. His anthological exhibitions were shown in Venice in 1975 and in Florence in 1979; a new anthology was organized by Palazzo Strozzi in Florence after his death.
The main Italian museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna (Mambo) and the Museo Novecento in Florence, display his works which were also exhibited in important museums abroad.
Important anthological exhibitions dedicated to Saetti graphic production were organized at the Gallery of Modern Art in Bologna in the years 1974 and 1981; large mosaics were exhibited at the Palazzo Pretorio in Prato in 1981.
A tribute was given to him by Galleria 56 in Bologna on the occasion of the centenary of his birth in 2002; between 2004 and 2004 Rossana Bossaglia edited the anthology Bruno Saetti 1902-1984. Tra intimismo e sublimazione.
Saetti painted female nudes, motherhood, landscapes, not neglecting symbolism, for example by painting figures of angels. The severe compositional rigour was the basis of an expressionist realism that avoids the artistic avant-gardes.
He died in 1984 at the age of 82.
