Životopis:

Gino Rossi was an Italian painter born in Venice in 1884 and died in Treviso in 1947. He studied in Italy and traveled to Paris in 1907, where he was influenced by Gauguin. He exhibited at the Ca' Pesaro in 1910, depicting brightly colored land and seascapes of Brittany and Venice. In 1912, he returned to Paris, but found that his wife, the painter Bice Levi Minzi, had left him for the sculptor Oreste Licudis. During World War I, he was captured as a soldier and imprisoned in Germany. Upon return to Italy, he exhibited in Verona, Torino, and Treviso. However, he was afflicted with syphilis and depression, causing the colors in his paintings to become darker and his style more abstract and ravaged by lines. In 1926, he was hospitalized in an asylum and was rehospitalized in many hospitals including one in Gris di Mogliano.
