Leonardo Dudreville

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leonardo Dudreville (born April 4, 1885 in Venice , † January 13, 1975 in Ghiffa on Lake Maggiore ) was an Italian painter of Futurism and Novecento Italiano .

Life

From 1902 Dudreville studied painting at the Accademia di Brera in Milan , but he also devoted himself to music intensively. From 1906 he shared a studio with his friend Anselmo Bucci and also traveled with him to Paris in 1906, where he met Amedeo Modigliani and Gino Severini . In Paris, the art dealer Alberto Gruibicy made it possible for him to have his first exhibition of his Divisionist pictures. Dudreville was in contact with the Futurists, but did not sign their 1910 manifesto. In 1913, together with Ugo Nebbia, he founded the Nuove Tendenze group , which Achille Funi , Mario Chiattone and Antonio Sant'Elia also joined. Since he was exempt from military service because of one-sided blindness, he could continue to devote himself to art, drawing on the irredenta . After the war he approached Futurism and signed the manifesto Contro tutti ritorni in pittura , but nevertheless became one of the founders of the Novecento in 1922. As a result, he mainly illustrated children's books, which earned him several prizes.
