Glauco Cambon Biography
Glauco Cambon was born in Trieste on 13 August 1875 and was an Italian painter.
In 1892 he enrolled at the Munich Academy, where he obtained, after a few months of attendance, an honorable mention in the subject composition competition with the painting "Music". In 1895 he returned to Trieste and in 1897 he participated in the second International Exhibition of Venice, in which he would participate eight more times until 1924. In 1900 he obtained the "Roman pension" and stayed five years in the capital, followed by a particularly happy period in Trieste, where he became interested in the field of advertising posters. At the outbreak of the war, he moved to Milan where he established permanent residence after his marriage to the painter Gilda Pansiotti. He died suddenly on 7 March 1930 in Biella while painting a portrait.
His portraits are in greater number, among which Ferruccio Benini excels in "Don Marzio maldicente a la bottega di caffè", triumphant at the Venice Biennale of 1910, while his mythological or allegorical compositions on large panels, such as "Amor renovator vitae" of 1912, are equally valuable.
His views, among which the scenic "Trieste by night" stands out, are testimony to his artistic maturity and a work worthy of competing with the most significant of international Liberty. The posters of the Trieste period, where Casanova let his easy, gracefully caricatural streak flow, are to be considered separately, entirely in keeping with the lively worldliness of the belle époque
