Tazartes Collection Spotlights Futurists Gerardo Dottori, Mino Rosso and Surrealist Mario Matera
The Tazartes Collection located in Turin showcases creations from Italian artists Mino Rosso, Gerardo Dottori, and Mario Matera. Mino Rosso (24 January 1904 – 21 June 1963), a painter and sculptor, is recognized for his untitled ink drawing influenced by Turin's Porta Nuova. He became a member of the Turin Futurist group in 1926 and endorsed the Manifesto of Aeropittura in 1929. Gerardo Dottori (11 November 1884 – 13 June 1977) exhibited individually in Turin in 1929 and is represented by his pastel study for Il canto dei Laghi (1954). Mario Matera (30 July 1930 – 12 October 2003), a self-taught creator, is celebrated for his mixed-media artwork featuring a female face amidst stars.
