LINO WILD - BIOGRAPHY

The name of Lino Selvatico (Padova 1872 - Biancade, Treviso 1924) binds in glove to Venetian history in the twentieth century horse and the birth of the Biennale: one of the promoters of the event is just the artist's father, Richard, figure reference for the city's political and mayor from 1890 to 1895. the living room of the Wild is inspired by the elegant aristocracy fin de siècle, combined with the literary and artistic world, by Luigi Nono to Caesar Laurenti, up to that of the theater. Undertaken the painting road, after studying Law studies, Lino debut at the Biennale in 1899 and participated in almost all the subsequent editions: through this continuous visits, the artist is placed early in the line of renewal which, from England to 'Ireland, from Spain to France, characterize the first editions of the event. Set aside both the realist influences both the symbolist influences, Lino Wild becomes the main contact for the Venetian portraiture, helping to renew this kind by comparison with European taste and the examples offered by the English painting of the eighteenth century. The best-known author's masterpieces are definitely large portraits that he realizes for the Venetian and Milanese high society and in which infuses an imaginary and a visual culture closely linked to the Belle Epoque. The bulk of this production is concentrated around the female figure and as a "painter of women" Lino emerges since the Biennale of 1903, with the depiction of the actress Irma Gramatica and Ms. Coletti. Moving to Milan in 1918 allows him to enlarge the client that includes the characters more in view of the high society, art and theater, and the protagonists of social and cultural life of the time. Its activity is celebrated several times by the Biennale, which devotes individual exhibitions in 1912 and 1922, in addition to the important retrospective tribute of 1926.
