Renato Vercelli
Renato Angelo Vercelli (1907, in Torino – 1988, in Rainans in the Jura, France) was an Italian painter. He was also a caricaturist, film director, decorator, and writer.
Biography[edit]
Vercelli was the son of Giulio Romano Vercelli. He left for Africa in his youth, and came back with accounts illustrated with sketches that he published in the press. He then moved to Paris, where he frequented various academies and experimented with impasted colours. These would later characterize his style. When he returned to Torino, he took over an art gallery.
Later in his career, Vercelli worked mostly in Italy and in the French Jura as a landscape painter, known for his flowery forest interiors. He painted with a palette knife in dark paste lightened with isolated splashes of violent and vivid colours. Other common themes of Vercelli's included women and romantic subjects.
