Giorgio Wenter Marini e Filippo De Pisis
In 1944, Giorgio Wenter Marini, originally from Rovereto, moved to Venice, where he also obtained a professorship for teaching Interior Architecture, Furniture and Decoration at the University Institute of Architecture in Venice. In 1953, he won the competition and became director at the Government Art Institute in Venice, where he was already teaching.
As Warin Dusatti recalls, ‘in those years, his friendship and close association with De Pisis brought a note of quiet sweetness and poetry to his painting, diluting the harsh “Central European” sign and resolving itself in a more “Mediterranean” manner... Campielli and Canali are thus transfigured into chromatic mosaics and flat colours with a strong impact, or, at times, into light, almost monochrome “grids” of nervous strokes, a little like De Pisis “modelled his flowers”.
Thanks to this union between the two artists, the two paintings by De Pisis entered Wenter Marini's collection.
