Elegant and cosmopolitan, Titina Maselli (Rome, 1924-2005) is one of the most original Italian artists of the twentieth century.
Hers is counter-current art.She rejected easy options and did not pander to the fashion of the day or market diktats: she did not have the backing of one particular gallery. Her work expresses a personality that is out of the ordinary, to the extent that the ‘character Titina’ overshadowed her sophisticated production, which remained unknown for many years and was all but ignored by the critics.
A free spirit, Titina is an artist who defies categorisation. Whenever she was asked what art was, she would reply: “The only justification”.
The Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice is dedicating an exhibition to Titina Maselli, curated by Chiara Bertola, with the support of Galleria Massimo Minini in Brescia.
The exhibition reconstructs her poetics through around thirty works, which retrace the themes and styles of her extremely personal language.
