             Eugenio Polesello (1895-1983)
   Born in Pordenone on 7 July 1895, Eugenio Polesello attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, studying at the school of Guglielmo Ciardi. He took part in the First World War, fighting in aviation, then resumed his studies, again at the Venice Academy, under the guidance of Ettore Tito. Between 1922 and 1925 he was invited to the Ca' Pesaro exhibitions and also participated, within the same years, in other national exhibitions in Bologna, Turin, Padua, Udine, Livorno. Before 1930 he moved to Milan, where a publisher had invited him to illustrate Italian landscapes: his painting welcomes twentieth-century suggestions, linking them to the color of the Veneto, in simplified and convincing synthesis. He exhibited in Milan and in 1931, at the invitation of Dante Alighieri, in Paris, at the headquarters of the Association; in Paris he also exhibited in 1933, at the Charpentier gallery. Later he curated personal exhibitions in Rome, Genoa, again in Milan and in other cities, continuing on the other hand to participate in regional and national group exhibitions. His favorite theme was landscape painting, which he was able to create in clear tones and simple chromatic choices, always mindful of his original Venetian training. Polesello died in 1983 in Turin, the city where a large retrospective of his was held in 1991.
