  • Sandro's Words on Website
    Sandro’s words on website October 31 1965 - October 31 2015 50 Years of Art I was born on February 20, 1948 in Florence. Since I was a child I have had a fascination for painting and playing with clay. My elementary teacher would say: “I’m going to speak with the Headmaster! Sandro, go to the balckboard and keep everyone entertained with your drawings.” So, from an early age I experienced the creative thrill of drawing on a black back- ground with colored and white chalk, while the erasers thrown at me by my classmates flew overhead.... STUDIES In 1965, at the age of 17, I was finally allowed to attend an art school. At the Cappiello Academy I had the honor and fortu- ne of meeting the great Gastone Canessa, headmaster of the school - a painter, a graphic designer and a ceramist. A “dannunziano’ character [Gabriele D’Annunzio, Italian writer, poet, journalist and playwright 1863- 1938 considered a Renaissance man] with a goatee and mustache, ever positive, “amante” [lover] of all arts, Michelangelo in particular. He was obsessed with giving us the best possible education of art. His classroom and on site lessons were fascinating and he took us to see almost all of the museums in Florence and Rome. Professor Corrado Marsan [the most able orator I have ever met] was responsible for art history, the artist Mario Poggiali for etching and carving and we were also given instruction on the psychology of advertising. My destiny would have taken me into graphic publicity if an “explosive” episode had not changed my direction: a homemade ballistic experiment at the age of 18 amputated half of my right thumb.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.
