Giovanni Stradone (1911 - 1981)

Giovanni Stradone

Giovanni Stradone was an Italian painter. He was a figurative painter who worked in a personal expressionist style. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1948 Summer Olympics, where he won a silver medal. From 1930 he approached the Roman school and took his main inspiration from the city of Rome or the hallucinated visions of war. He developed towards a gestural and material expressionism. After the sixties, his works continue to re-elaborate recurrent themes (series of cyclists, harlequins, Roman nocturnes and open up to fantastic and caricatural notations. Works of the artist are in the collections of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome.
