Biografija:

Alberto Sughi was an Italian painter born in Cesena, Italy in 1928. He became one of the greatest Italian artists of his generation, starting to paint in the early 1950s and choosing realism in the debate between abstract and figurative art in the immediate post-war period. Sughi's paintings depict moments from daily life with no heroes, allowing Enrico Crispolti, in 1956, to define his work as 'existential realism'. His artistic expression proceeds, almost always, in thematic cycles, in the manner of film sequences. His most famous series include 'green paintings' (1971-1973), 'Supper cycle' (1975-1976), 'Imagination and Memory of the Family' (early 1980s), 'Evening or reflection' (started from 1985), and 'Nocturnal' (2000). Sughi has taken part in all the most important collective exhibitions of contemporary art, from the International Biennale art exhibition in Venice to the Quadriennale in Rome, as well as various exhibitions that have been held abroad, charting the history of Italian art from the 1970s until today. Italian and foreign museums have held large retrospective exhibitions; among the most significant are the Gallery of Modern Art in Bologna (1977), the Manezh Gallery in Moscow (1978), the Museum of Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, the Fine Arts Museum in Budapest and the National Gallery in Prague (1986), the Civic Modern Art Gallery in Ferrara (1988), the Casa Masaccio in San Giovanni Valdarno (1990), the Assis Chateaubriand Art Gallery in São Paulo in Brazil (
