The Primo Conti Foundation Museum collects 66 paintings and 163 drawings by the Florentine artist. The works cover a chronological span from 1911, the year of his artistic debut with the strikingly beautiful and “mature” expressive Self-Portrait, to 1985. Through the work of Primo Conti, the museum enables the study of the development of artistic events in Italy and Europe in the twentieth century. Of this century so full of momentous turning points, the Master has caught the lifeblood. In the Museum’s halls, the tour unfolds from youthful studies of the human figure to early interests in “fauve” art, a prelude to the brilliant Futurist season. Conti was able to transpose the most lively and fertile moods of Futurism, giving life to a fresh, anti-academic and poetry-rich painting. Later, always on positions of fervent and constructive dialectic, the painter accompanied modern art in the recovery of form and expressive techniques. An artist always young and ready to question the expressive achievements he had made, Conti anticipated and lived up to the artistic and literary spirit of his time. The last years of his life are therefore characterized by lively and lyrical painting.
