Bruno Croatto Biography
Born in Trieste on 12 April 1875. In the years 1891-1892 he was a disciple of Gabriel Hackl at the Munich Academy but he studied the impressionists, and finally the great masters of the fifteenth century, more than at school. He deals with the figure, the landscape, the flowers, but emerges in the etching and aquatint, in which, neglecting the drawing, he searches only for color and chiaroscuro effects. He exhibited in Munich, Trieste, Paris, Venice, Rome, Milan, London, Prague, Vienna. In 1930 he held a personal exhibition at the «Chamber of Artists» in Rome, with 57 works and 52 etchings. His works are preserved in the Cabinet of Prints in the Corsini Museum in Rome; in Valle Giulia; at the Uffizi Gallery; at the Revoltella Museum in Trieste; in public collections in New York and England. One of his "Still lifes" is located in the Gallery of Modern Art in Milan. Other works: "Self-portrait"; "The amphora"; "In the park"; "Madonnina"; "White roses".
