The Primo Conti Foundation Museum houses 66 paintings and 163 drawings by the Florentine artist. The works span a chronological span from 1911, the year of his artistic debut with the strikingly beautiful and expressively mature Self-Portrait, to 1985. Through Primo Conti's work, the Museum allows visitors to study the development of artistic movements in Italy and Europe in the 20th century. The Maestro captured the lifeblood of this century, so rich in epochal turning points. In the Museum's rooms, the exhibition unfolds from his youthful studies of the human figure to his early interest in Fauvist art, a prelude to the brilliant Futurist era. Conti captured the liveliest and most fertile moods of Futurism, creating a fresh, anti-academic style of painting rich in poetry. Subsequently, always pursuing a fervent and constructive dialectic, the painter accompanied modern art in its recovery of form and expressive techniques. An artist forever youthful and ready to challenge existing expressive achievements, Conti anticipated and fully lived the artistic and literary spirit of his time. The last years of his life were therefore characterized by a lively and lyrical style of painting.
