Support and technique: watercolor on paper Author: Guido Tavagnacco (1920-1990) Born in 1920 in Moimacco and died in Udine in 1990, teacher, painter, engraver, esteemed by critics and gallery owners as well as art collectors; Museums, galleries and institutional headquarters collect, in Italy and abroad, his work and his precious testimony, intended to honor the culture and land of Friuli with its noble peasant civilization.
Guido Tavagnacco graduated from the Liceo Artistico in Venice. He later taught Art Education in Buja, Tarcento and Udine. Participates in the Rome Quadrennial and the Intart Biennial.
Direct witness of the Second World War and of the partisan struggle, fighting with the "Garibaldi" Brigade from 1943 to 1945, Tavagnacco brings to the Friulian Resistance that contribution that every citizen can offer if motivated and inspired by the values of freedom, peace, work, in awareness that anti-fascism is representative of a moment of civilization and commitment of the people. Through his artistic work, Tavagnacco will be able to tell the story of the Resistance as well as the tragedies of war.
In his heart there was the Resistance, which he honored and intended to defend from every squalid mystification both with words and with the brush. In the work he left us we therefore find precious paintings that immortalize moments and episodes in the history of the Friulian Tavagnacco_dipinto_ANPIResistenza, masterpieces that only a great artist could donate to posterity.
