An influential figurative painter of the 20th century. From 1928 to 1948, he exhibited his work regularly at the Venice Biennale. His work is held is many public collections in Italy. In 1940, he became a professor at Florence’s Accademia di Bella Arti, a position he would hold until 1970. In 1932 Colacicchi painted ‘Fine d’Estate (End of Summer)’, (now in the collection of Modern Art, Uffizi, Florence) to which this painting relates. This work, slightly different in composition to the work a year earlier, is painted far more freely that his usual style.
