Description

In Italian with English subtitles

Painting the Soul of the 20th Century: Pellizza Da Volpedo tells the story of the tormented life of divisionist painter Giuseppe Pellizza (1868-1907), famous for his work 'The Fourth Estate', as well as for his ability to study the soul and human society. Exploring the places he lived in as well as his artistic sensitivity, the film reveals the artist’s emotions and his vision of reality through a sophisticated use of shots from different angles inspired by the colors in his paintings.
