The Gallery The Library pays tribute to the sign of Mario Marcucci simultaneously with the large retrospective exhibition dedicated to him from his city, set in the halls of Villa Paolina Bonaparte, "Mario Marcucci and Viareggio. Environments and reflections ", a project of this Lelio Antonio Schiavone and Adil, who was born on the centenary of his birth with an exhibition of oils and watercolors, which opens Saturday, February 12 at 19 and will be available until Wednesday, March 2 2011. In the works on display "(...) You can admire the landscapes, the sea, pine forests, streets and squares of the town of Versilia - Raffaella De Santis writes on January 8, Art Republic ca - revealing the life and love for his land. " Mario Marcucci's language was developed through the investigation and representation of the landscape of his native land of sea, boats and pine forest, then through the light of the particular site has honed his research by analyzing and investigating all possible variations of the language of color as a means to capture the appearance of reality, with whom he represented still lifes, portraits and portraits of great value and beauty. The color was a sort of obsession for the artist, that I led to a vast production of oils and watercolors done on everything that came to hand, newspaper, book pages, all kinds of wood, lids of cans, cardboard, cloth, everything could be used and the enormous quantity of paintings that he left the witness. His landscapes, whether realized on a squared paper or wax paper in a grocery store are never subject to a concession or a display of virtuosity. Marcucci's paintings, like the two still lifes on display, painted in oil, "Basket of Onions" in 1947 and "Basket jars and jug" reveal the beauty and poetry of those things to be humble and modest need to be understood, interpreted or described by an artist for the world to notice them. They are still lifes, villages, fields, lonely corners of nature 'picturesque', neither horrible nor dazzling, but common, simple, without excess of lines, colors and contrasts. The duration of the sign Marcucci, be it a portrait or a landscape such as "Figure Back" on a page Corsera of May 1971 or a "channel of Viareggio is endless: their image is formed in a fire inaccurate, is above all a mental image stored in memory and reactivated. Subject already reflected in time, without waste utility, fixed and random in its pre-membership, pay its spots and its seas, the densification of the shadows, the air pockets of the plans, to internal dialogue that adapts to them a sequence of simple colors, rearranges them for different spatial relations from which a particular breath of light that throbs with equal intensity in each image and appearance all the more negligible unifies all impressing to the sky like a bush, the same deep pulse.



Mario Marcucci (28 August 1910-2 May 1992), Viareggio, refractory to any entry in the current art of our century, has maintained a personal pictorial language and a passionate exchange with poets, writers and artists, thus becoming a emblematic figure of 900, a complex artist who has done his research in several directions in the representation and tonal painting. Marcucci arises mainly in the field of art near De Pisis, Morandi and Rosai, which is only away for a short period - the late forties - to deal with the suggestions of Cubism. Training was important in his friendship with the poet Luca Ghiselli, his contemporary, who died in 1939. At the beginning of the war came into contact with the Hermetic Florence. During his career he received many awards (he won the Premio Bergamo in 1941, then the Marzotto Prize in the Festival of Italian painting in Venice; 8x10 Prize of Rome in 1951, the Michetti Prize in 1953 and the forint in 1954) and participated in numerous exhibitions including several editions of the Quadrennial Romana and the Venice Biennale.

During the fifties stayed several times in Rome, then moved to Florence, where he remained until 1966, when he returned to his hometown final. This period marks undoubtedly the highest stage of his painting with the creation of some of his most beautiful, important and meaningful. Become almost completely blind since the mid-eighties he stopped painting.
