Item description from seller

- Quarto [12-1/2 inches high by 9-1/4 inches wide], olive green cloth in a dust wrapper. The book is housed in a plain tan slipcase.

During World War I and after his father's suicide in 1922, Rosai was associated with militant Fascist groups. He took over his father's business and went through a time of great hardship during which he painted very little. However, in 1930 his work was seen outside Florence when he exhibited at the Milione Gallery in Milan and thereafter, despite economic difficulties, he dedicated himself to painting again, participating in group exhibitions, including the Venice Biennales of 1932 to1938.The text is in Italian.…
