Carlo Martini (25 February 1908 – 15 July 1958) was an Italian painter and academician.




Biography


Martini was born in Crema, Italy. He studied in Brera Academy of Milan under the tutelage of Aldo Carpi. He moved to England in 1938. He lived in London and Glasgow. He came back in Italy in 1940 due to the Second World War. He fought in France and he got imprisoned in Monza in 1943, bound to a German concentration camp, but he managed to escape and run away from Italy to Switzerland as a refugee. At the end of the conflict he returned to Milan, where he became assistant professor of Aldo Carpi at Brera Academy. He died in 1958, at the age of fifty.




Artistic style


During his academic growth, Martini's style was influenced by Novecento Italiano, and then by Chiarismo Lombardo movement. The English period (1938–1940) gave him the possibility to assimilate the Impressionistic lesson and the art of painters as William Turner and John Constable. Several paintings of that period represent the English and Scottish countryside. The artistic maturity brought new pictorial trials, where children and Italian landscapes carved out a leading role in his canvases, showing the artist's love and attachment for his daily inner life.




Exhibits


Martini participated in the Venice Biennale in 1934, 1936, 1948 and 1950. Among the posthumous exhibits, the most notable took place in Crema in 1991.




Paintings in museums and public collections



Several Martini's paintings are kept in Milan, in the Modern Art Gallery, in the Brera Academy collection, in the Art collections of Fondazione Cariplo, in the Ospedale Maggiore portraits collection and in the province of Milan art collections.
In Crema, some canvas are exhibited in the Civic Museum.
