Arnoldo Ciarrocchi
Arnoldo Ciarrocchi is an Italian painter and etcher. He found inspiration for his paintings in the work of the Scuola Romana. In the early 1960s Ciarrocchi began painting simplified landscapes and still lives. Many of his post-war etchings were of airy landscapes in the Marche in which the trees seem to bend in the wind. He also began to use a broad blunt-edged tool which he handled vigorously for expressive effects in his etchings of nudes and landscapes. From the early 1950s Ciarrocchi made lithographs and occasionally aquatints. He was also very active as an illustrator supplying drawings and watercolours. Soon after the war Ciarrocchi achieved recognition as one of Italy's leading landscape etchers.Date and place of birt: | 1916, Italy |
