Teodoro Wolf Ferrari – La Modernita del Paesaggio
At Palazzo
Sarcinelli, Teodoro Wolf Ferrari – La Modernita del Paesaggio is on show
until June 24. The exhibition is curated by
Giandomenico Romanelli and Franca Lugato, and has the aim of shedding light on
the emblematic and little-studied figure of Wolf Ferrari. It allows us to enter
the studio of this “poet of the landscape” and contemplate through paintings, watercolors,
decorative panels, stained glass and studies for postcards, the gentle hills
that stretch from Asolo to Conegliano and the Grappa uplands, or the darker and
more disturbing scenarios that hold a deep feeling of mystery.

These are works that declare Wolf Ferrari’s own love
of landscape, experimentation, and a wide variety of techniques. He was able to
imbue Venice and Italy with European figurative ideas that, at the dawn of the
twentieth century, inaugurated modernity and gave rise to the great
avant-garde Secessionist movements.
“Tall, big, blond, ruddy
with greenish eyes, eloquent
when he talks and tries to explain
the chiaroscuro of his spiritual life
you would think him tranquil when
you see him, but he is full of anxiety
wear, interior hopes; a tenacious
worker; an industrious decorator
an impenitent optimist and
full of hope.”
Gino Damerini - 1910

Teodoro Wolf Ferrari – Notte – 1908
After his
studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice with Guglielmo Ciardi, Wolf
Ferrari went on to study in Munich where, in 1895, he came into contact with
some of the most advanced and cosmopolitan Symbolist and Secessionist movements
of the time. The exhibition layout ranges over the whole career of the artist,
following a thematic line that includes various periods and experiences, from
his view of Middle-European trends, with a fascinating section devoted to the
theme of “storms”, to the latest Venetian art and the delicate autumnal walks
from Grappa to the Piave.

Paesaggio Notturno – 1908
Teodoro Wolf Ferrari – La Morena - 1910-12
This is a rare
occasion for getting to know and re-discovering an artist better known to specialists than to a wider public, an artist who not only
gracefully portrayed nature, but also told the story of the transformation of
Italian art on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries.
