Carlo Quaglia Art

Italian, 1903-1970

Carlo Quaglia was born in Terni, Rome. He completed his studies in Terni, where he graduated in accounting and violin at the Ricciardi Music Institute. He then entered the Academy of Modena, where he graduated in Economics and Commerce. Commanded as an officer in Libya, in the 1930s he served in Benghazi, Sirte and Derna, where he cultivated his passions, figurative arts and classical music. At the beginning of World War II, in 1940, Quaglia was taken prisoner by the British and transferred to India at Camp 27 of Yol, on the slopes of the Himalayas. He spent five years in prison, devoting himself to the study of the arts, practicing his first painting tests which led him to decide to become a painter. Upon returning to Italy, Quaglia took his leave and began his career as an artist. His was a short and fortunate career that led him to critical and public success. In his painting, we find, at times, the love of the colors of the Roman School which belonged to Scipione, Mario Mafai and Antonietta Raphaël. Quaglia died in Rome in 1970. He held solo exhibitions in Rome, Milan, Terni, Turin, Genoa, Livorno, Paris, New Haven and Montréal, participated in the Rome Quadrennial from the fifth edition of 1948 until the IX edition of 1965–66 and at various editions of the Venice Biennale. He taught from 1955–57 at the Accademia Roma per Stranieri together with Roberto Melli.

Joy VII - Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting, Beach View, Realism
By Julita Malinowska
Located in Salzburg, AT
Artodyssey "Julita Malinowska's paintings belong to those, which once seen - are never forgotten. The open spaces, sometimes cool and bright, at other times heavily saturated with contrasting light, create a landscape in which, like a counterpoint, we come across a figure – sometimes one, perhaps two or more. The synthetic construction of form, clean contours, and strong divisions are elements which at first sight are the defining characteristics of the artist's style. It is impossible to pass one by and remain indifferent to the subdued harmony flooding these spaces which not totally defined. The drawings, however, are somewhat different. Although they contain the same motifs, at times even the same compositions – the value strategems employed by Julita create a sense of foreboding in a world already balancing on the edge. The painterly and graphic form constructed by the artist is itself thought- provoking . The heightened tones, the light which at times goes off the scale and the almost classic contours lead us to look at Malinowska's work through the prism of classicism and the great art theories of the 17th century. Such references are quite rare in the painting of today and beyond – in art. The search for a language allowing the artist to deal with universal issues and fundamental questions in order to understand the sense of not only art, but also life, has not been too popular a phenomenom in art over the last century. The artist has, however, for the last few years quite consciously defined the sphere of her search. It could first be seen in the diploma cycle of paintings, the summary of her years of study. “The role of the painting defined then and the concious selection of formal sources became the starting point for further artistic exploration, which I have been following carefully ever since.” Julita Malinowska Born in Otwock in 1979. Studied in the Art Department of the University of Maria Curie-Sklodowska in Lublin from 1999-2000, and then from 2000-2005 in the Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. Received a Sokrates/Erasmus scholarship in 2003 for Wolverhampton University in the UK. Graduated (MA degree) from the Painting Department in 2005 with distinction. From 2008 till 2011 was making Doctoral studies (PhD degree) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. In December 2012 defended PhD degree. In 2005 won Second Prize at The Samsung Art...
