Silvio Loffredo. Vita, "immagini e immaginazioni"

In this volume, the art critic Marco Moretti, a profound connoisseur of the artist, examines the life and works of Silvio Loffredo (Paris, 1920 - Trebiano, 2013), through a chronological itinerary that starts from the memory of the artist's father, Michele, his first teacher. A long artistic journey that sheds light on the intense life of this painter, but also engraver and avant-garde film-maker, who arrived in 1945, to graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts, in Florence, a city he loved and hated but in which he would come into contact with the prolific and surreal artistic environment of the post-World War II years, not only in Italy. Moretti traces Loffredo's contacts with artists such as Ottone Rosai and Kokoschka, describing an interesting cross-section of his life up to the 2000s, with his famous cats and the imaginative representations of the Baptistery in the background.
