Marcello Landi (1916-1993) was an Italian painter and poet. ==Biography== Landi was born to the artistic Landi family in Cecina in 1916. In 1948 he signed, with the poet Guido Favati and the painters Voltolino Fontani, Angelo Sirio Pellegrini and Aldo Neri, the ''Manifesto of Eaismo'', an analysis of man's new role in the "atomic age". He participated in the exhibitions of the group in 1949, at the Casa di Dante in Florence; in 1953 at the House of Culture of Livorno, and finally in 1959 at the gallery Pascucci in Grosseto. Landi and Favati pursued the programmatic statements of the movement with much conviction. The 1950s were years of intense literary activity, culminating in his victory of the poetry prize from the City of Florence (1955), and another poetry prize from the Citadel in 1956. During this period Landi devoted himself actively to debating ideas in contemporary art through columns in major news papers, especially "Il Giornale del Mattino" (Florence). In 1970 he won the poetry prize "Montebelluna", and in 1983 the "National Literary Prize" of Pisa. In the 1960s he formed the painter's group 'Gli Ultimi' together with Fontani and Pellegrini Sirio and exhibited continuously at the Bottega d'Arte Livorno. His paintings depict most often 'atomic landscapes', in which the descriptive and narrative element was reduced to the pure essence of forms, showing a keen sense of abandonment and loneliness. In 1977 he moved from Livorno to Rome. In the same year, he was honored with the establishment of the "National Poetry Prize Marcello Landi" in Livorno, which was awarded until 2001. The last few years of his life were complicated by poor health and psychological problems. These would impact his activities until his death in 1993, in Rome. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcello Landi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
