Giovanni Segantini - symbolist

Giovanni Segantini learned to draw while earning a living as a boy hearding sheep in the hills of Italy. He finally began to earn a living in Milan as an artist and teacher. Wikipedia page. He was an outsider who spent time in refrom school and eventually lived in isolation in the Alps. WetCanvas biography.



One of his paintings was included in an Italian show from 2003 written about in this article from La Republica.it. Erotico, simbolico o verista un secolo di nudo nella pittura.



Another at Artsblog.it. Alla Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna per capire cos'รจ il simbolismo.



This one is in Genova, Museo Raccolte Frugon.
