This catalogue is the most exhaustive monograph dedicated to the Venetian artist Edmondo Bacci (1913-1978) with about eighty works, including unpublished paintings and drawings, from national and international museums and private collections. Bacci was above all an artist of the world, one of the few Italian artists capable of achieving success in life, exhibiting in major museums and art galleries.
The strength and quality of his work have attracted the attention of some of the most attentive Italian and foreign critics and collectors, who around the 50s animated the then lively Venice, including of course also Peggy Guggenheim.
Bacci ranks within the narrow circle of Venetian artistic excellences, including Tancredi Parmeggiani and Emilio Vedova, who in the same years achieved international success and recognition. The exhibition and the volume want to pay tribute to the artist focusing on the most lyrical and happy period of his production, that is the 50s, which marked his success, in the Venetian setting, his birthplace and inspiration, as well as his consecration to the XXIX Biennale Internazionale d’Arte in Venice in 1958, which dedicated an entire room to him.
