Venice, 1892 - Venice, 1976
E 'was an Italian painter.
In Venice he studied under Cesare Laurenti. Exhibits in Ca 'Pesaro in 1909 and 1911 at the International Rome. Join the world's major artistic events (Milano, Galleria Pesaro in 1923, Amsterdam and Rotterdam 1924, New York, 1925, Brussels 1930). In 1934 a wall at the Venice Biennale . Since 1928 he teaches at the Academy of Venice and in 1936 he was appointed professor of painting. In 1938 and in 1942 has an entire room at the Biennale.
son of an artist, Guido comes from a family of carvers and sculptors of the origins Cadore. Arriving in Venice became one of the oldest shops of Venice. It grows in the palace of Briati Foundation, behind the rafts near the Campo dei Carmini, a home teeming with life, family meetings and incentives (the friendship with the young Modigliani passing through Venice dates back to adolescence) , creeping plants and wild cats. Vincent's father, a sculptor beloved by Queen Margherita, notice of his precocious talent in drawing and enrolled at the Free School of Nude spiritualism Cesare Laurenti.
and 1907. Guido is young, passionate and extremely talented. His first self-portrait, a charcoal with a decisive, sign Guidus Cadorenus, and there reveals.
volumetric compactness and extraordinary synthesis of another self-portrait exhibited in 1970. Sixty years of uninterrupted work, not only painting. Guido ranges in the decorative arts with prestigious commissions: Villa Zadra, the furniture of Villa Papadopoli with the 'architect Brenno Del Giudice (who married his sister Tullia) is quintessential elegance thirties receives from the "Supreme poet commissioned to devise a clean room to sleep Vittoriale: orchestra winged figures on the ceiling, painted silks, furniture contrives, designs chandeliers. Integrated in its vision, Cadorin not yield convulse the fascinations of the period.
oppose a decisive rejection of the proposal to jump on the bandwagon of Marinetti's Futurist, long after noting in his diary: "(...) I, spiritualist and chaste vegetarian and I am outraged after reading the books (stupid) and burn them I do not answer ". Guido through the centuries by the sensitive, picks up and incorporates current naturaliter signs of new languages that can be assimilated to his vision: the stretch of the Secession, a new liberty, the exhausted beauty of Central Europe. He is so immersed in the spirit of his time to be able to go beyond it in very personal synthesis. Which makes it disturbing news. Extraordinary and vibrant family portraits are often dedicated "to my dear mother-September 1910" bathed in an aura sweet and ironic, a stem of a fragile orchid peeps from his shoulder. Minimum desired concentration nor reveal the expression prehensile. Painting on cardboard, plaster, Venetian a particular temperature, in a state of grace. A year later, vertical, almost a manifesto of poetic portrait of Livia "The Pride", still his student at the academy shortly before becoming his wife released un'estaticità ferina. Magnetically. Yielding a smile is waiting to sign in pencil "Livia pregnant with Paul" (1917); near invisibility. The hair is thick, auburn, her sister Geneva, stands pensively at a depth of plaster sberciato. The red helmet and "niagaresca" Tullia hair sitting in profile, continuous wave. Tullia's sister again, many years later, already married to Del Giudice. Vigorous, forearm crisscrossed by veins in relief, the beautiful and moving portrait of his son Paul in the 40s. Some
magical views of Venice, such as that on board in the rate of gray corrugated tiles touch the horizon the mountains. Other portraits of the soul: a bowed head, and clear the picture in kimono collection portrays Alice Levi, "Alix", his great friend, later called to perform Silk decorations of furniture in the Villa Papadopoli, Vittorio Veneto. In steady state vibration separates the aristocracy of a transparent woman in the incarnate, from his body "unwinds" a cloth tree "Lady and spring garden" purple background shall retain the contours. Among the masterpieces on display the famous triptych of 1914 "made by me with naive idea of conversion is found in these" Notes for a biography "has strong adventure story and symbols of warning in the title:" Meat meat, more meat ". "Channel" of 1921, inexpressible synthesis imbued with magic realism: reflections, in the cut, in counterpoint double and upside down. Some more portraits in pencil, vortex, the profile airy and rapacious "idea for Pound" in 1960. A sketch in biro on white cardboard, grab the essence of the poet, in Venice in those years of exile. He says all of the most intimate folds of a D'Annunzio "senectute confectus" the pencil portrait of 1924. Pure enchantment is the sequence of the lagoons of 1921 will be resumed in hypnotic drafts in recent years. Areas of still water in slow changing light. Meditation and modulation. Scardino, with a few absolute features, the late romantic chromaticism of Venetian painting so much that precedes it. And so to come, that does not match.
