 Description

Alberto Martini, born in 1876, began painting at a very young age in the typical style of the late eighteen hundreds. At the age of eighteen, he discovered the clear, pure, mournful lines of China ink and almost abandoned painting for a time, while searching in the antimony of black and white for the ghosts that disturbed his imagination. His discovery of the short stories of Poe was to mark the turning point in his artistic life. After reading them, he decided to use his fine, enchanted pen to produce a pictorial equivalent of these disturbing literary fictions. This was a unique event in the history of Italian art, so little inclined towards the fantastic and the surreal. This volume gathers together all the illustrations done for Poe, along with fifteen oil and pastel works of the symbolist period.

Alberto Martini
Nato nel 1876, Alberto Martini cominciò a dipingere molto giovane, nello stile tipico del tardo Ottocento. Ma a diciott’anni scoprì il filo nitido, luttuoso e puro dell’inchiostro di china: abbandonò quasi la pittura per un certo periodo, cercando nell’antinomia del bianco e del nero i fantasmi che agitavano la sua immaginazione. L’evento eccezionale della sua vita di artista fu l’incontro con i racconti di Poe; leggendoli decise di tracciare con la sua penna sottile e incantata la parafrasi figurativa di quelle morbose e sconcertanti finzioni letterarie. Un evento singolarissimo nella storia dell’arte italiana, così poco portata al fantastico e al surreale. Questo volume raccoglie, oltre a quindici olii e pastelli del periodo simbolista, tutte le illustrazioni eseguite per Poe.
