Edgardo Corbelli Biography
Edgardo CORBELLI (Turin, 1918 - 1989) From the traditional landscape layout of the 1930s, Corbelli's painting leads to technical-expressive results in which the chromatic brightness and the impetuous sign predominate, assimilated, among others, by Oskar Kokoschka to Salzburg Academy in 1958, to the point of synthesizing himself in the extremely communicative, and more current than ever, expressionist language that characterizes his landscapes, portraits and nudes.
