Orfeo Tamburi (Iesi 1910 - Paris 1994)

Orfeo Tamburi (Iesi 1910 - Paris 1994) attended the Roman Accademia di Belle Arti. From 1932 onwards he participated in exhibitions organized in Rome, especially the Quadriennale. In 1939 he was present at the second Corrente exhibition in Milan, together with the group of Roman artists that joined with their Milanese colleagues in action against the Novecentismo movement.
Before he moved definitively to Paris in 1947, Tamburi painted works in which there is clear evidence of contact with the Roman School, especially Mafai and Scipione.
His declination of the figurative culture of the Roman School is nonetheless marked by the explicit presence of expressionist elements, in particular in the strident relationship between design and colour.
