Osvaldo Licini Family Portraits at Casa Museo in Monte Vidon Corrado

The Casa Museo Osvaldo Licini in Monte Vidon Corrado presents 'Ritratti di famiglia,' a curated exhibition by Daniela Simoni featuring the Italian painter's early works. The show highlights Licini's expressive portraits of relatives, including a 1908 portrait of his grandfather Filippo, which demonstrates precocious expressionist skill and rich color. Other works include a self-portrait with 'fantastic primitivism,' his sister Esmeralda (a dancer at the Opéra in Paris), his mother Amedea in a Renoir-like pose, and his wife Nanny, whose portrait exudes sensual vitality through dynamic brushwork. The exhibition runs until July 10, 2016.
