Landscape is an original etching realized by Alberto Salietti, an italian artist of the 20th century. The state of preservation is very good, except for a small stain on the back, upper right corner. Hand-signed (Salietti) on the lower right corner and numbered 5/50 on the lower left corner. The original sheet is mounted on a cardboard passepartout (49 x 34 cm). Alberto Salietti (Ravenna, 1892 - Chiavari, 1961) Despite having played almost the totality of his artistic career in Milan and Liguria, Alberto Salietti - painter, engraver, mosaicist and fresco - has remained a reference point for Romagna painters, especially between the two wars. After moving with his family to Milan, Salietti attended the Brera Academy until 1914. In 1920 he exhibited at the Venice Biennale and in 1922 in Milan with Oppi, Dudreville, Tosi and Malerba. After the Venice Biennale of 1924 he joined the Novecento movement of which he became secretary in 1925. In 1926 he exhibited at the ''First exhibition of the Italian twentieth century'' and in 1927 he was among the founders of the ''Group of seven modern painters'' together with Funi, Sironi, Tosi, Carrà, Marussig and Bernasconi. It's time for a general ''return to order''. In 1929 he exhibited in Barcelona, in 1937 in Paris; then to the II and III Quadrennial of Rome and to the Venice Biennale of 1942 where he won the Grand Prize for painting. In 1933 he was appointed corresponding member of the ''Wiener Secession'' and from 1933 to 1936 he was a member of the Superior Council for Antiquities and Fine Arts in Rome. In 1941 he moved permanently to Chiavari, frequented since the 1920s. The most important posthumous exhibitions include the one held at the Permanente in Milan in 1964 and the 1972 one in Chiavari. As a portraitist and landscape painter, Salietti - a patient distiller of post-impressionist, secessionist and twentieth-century influences - has made an original contribution to Italian art between the two wars, distinguishing itself by a joyful and optimistic adherence to reality, immune from intellectualism, ideologies and excessive formal forcing less
