Vieri Vagnetti Biography
Vagnetti Vieri (Florence, 1936 - Florence, 1994) Vagnetti Vieri was an Italian painter. After undertaking classical studies, in 1958 he moved to Paris to attend painting and scenography courses at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and then worked at La Scala in Milan as assistant to the set designer Pietro Zuffi (1959). Subsequently he obtained the possibility of organizing several personal exhibitions in important Italian galleries (Galleria Spinetti in Florence, Galleria Levi in Milan) and following the signing of a contract also in galleries in foreign cities (1965) such as New York, Brussels, Stuttgart, Washington . In 1970 Tommaso Paloscia edited an important monograph on the artist. The artist's work will revolve throughout his artistic career on recurring figures such as the female figure, cities, nature, landscape. The peculiarity of his painting consists in the creation of vibrations of colors and light, within which his figures "float". The latter, in fact, lose any concrete relationship with space, to the point of being completely dominated by it in the last decade.
