Cafiero Filippelli (Italian, 1889 - 1973)

 

Cafiero Filippelli (Livorno, 4 dicembre 1889 – 25 febbraio 1973) è stato un pittore italiano.

Frequentò l'Accademia delle Belle Arti di Firenze, entrando in contatto con Giovanni Fattori e con il maestro dell'arte liberty Galileo Chini.

Allievo dello scultore Lorenzo Gori e dell'acquarellista Lorenzo Cecchi, fece tesoro di tutte queste lezioni, sviluppando una pittura che procedeva lungo il solco della tradizione post-macchiaiola, mediata da istanze culturalmente più ampie.

Specializzato negli interni a luce artificiale, che mettono in evidenza un'anima e un'inclinazione intimista, seppe tuttavia spaziare anche nella pittura en plen air, soddisfacendo così gli stimoli che gli provenivano dal mercato dell'arte.

Le sue marine e i suoi paesaggi, brulicanti di figure soprattutto femminili, svelano un'attitudine spiccata per il ritratto. I quadri dagli anni cinquanta in poi perdono smalto e subiscono una notevole riduzione delle quotazioni.

Cafiero Filippelli partecipò a varie edizioni della Biennale di Venezia e delle Quadriennali romane. Fu membro del Gruppo Labronico.

Baracchina, 1990

Sono nato a Livorno nel '32 e posso dire di avere sempre respirato l'aria e l'odore dei colori, vuoi perché a Livorno hanno sempre dipinto tutti, vuoi perché proprio anche mio padre fosse uno di quelli, oltre ad essere un eccellente disegnatore. La mia passione però è sempre stata la musica. Ed è infatti la musica che ha affinato la mia sensibilità per l'arte ed è stata la musica che spesso mi ha trovato la soluzione in alcuni miei dipinti.

Umberto Boccioni (19 October 1882 – 17 August 1916) was an influential Italian painter and sculptor. He helped shape the revolutionary aesthetic of the Futurism movement as one of its principal figures. Despite his short life, his approach to the dynamism of form and the deconstruction of solid mass guided artists long after his death. His works are held by many public art museums, and in 1988 the Museum of Modern Art in New York organized a major retrospective of 100 pieces.

"What I am searching for is neither the real nor the unreal, but the Subconscious, the mystery of what is Instinctive in the human Race"
