Alberto Bizzai Biography
BIZZAI ALBERTO. Strasbourg (France), 20 November 1926 - Sale Marasino, 5 September 2004. Born in France to emigrant parents, Alberto Bizzai has settled in for many years in Brescia, which welcomed him upon his return to his homeland, and has been appreciated as man, even before being a painter. He attended the Carrara Academy, and was for a few years at the school of the Brescians Emilio Pasini and Giuseppe Ronchi, also applying himself to frescoes. If one of his works, Fucilazione di Partigiani, has the merit of having revealed the qualities of a synthetic and dramatic interpreter of human tragedies, its simple nature nevertheless leads him on the path of a traditional landscape painting in which easily identifiable feelings are accompanied by an evident attachment to the non-monumental motifs of the city portrayed in its alleys, squares and hilly surroundings animated by small figures rich in polychrome traditional clothing. Houses, squares, women caught in a suffused atmosphere that responds, as Domenico Purifica underlined, to a belief in artistic religion. Present at numerous awards in the city and outside, Bizzai has also set up around ten personal exhibitions in various cities: from Bergamo to Siena, receiving the approval of well-known art writers.
