The landscapes of Emilio Giuseppe Dossena were well known in the years in which he produced them, as they were captivating to their audiences on many levels. He painted a variety of contrasting landscapes — from the soft valleys of Umbria to the centenary trees of Lombardy, from the sea cliffs of Liguria to the Alpine huts of Piedmont, from the gypsy caravans to the circus troupe encampment. Through his paint strokes, we were able to view the world as it was through his eyes, realistically and without gimmicks, an appeal that has set him apart from other artists of his time. This partial monograph (both in English and Italian) offers the opportunity to explore a selection of his landscapes works (62 color images) throughout his extended artistic career, introducing them to new generations. In seeing his artwork and the essence of his artistic expression, the reason for his success is revealed.
I paesaggi di Emilio Giuseppe Dossena erano ben noti negli anni in cui li produsse, poiché erano accattivanti per l’osservatore a molti livelli. L’artista dipinse una varietà di paesaggi contrastanti: dalle morbide vallate dell’Umbria agli alberi centenari della Lombardia, dalle scogliere marine della Liguria alle baite piemontesi, dalle roulotte zingare all’accampamento della compagnia circense. Grazie al lavoro delle sue mani, siamo stati in grado di vedere il mondo com’era attraverso i suoi occhi, realisticamente e senza espedienti, una caratteristica che lo ha distinto dagli altri artisti del suo tempo. Questa parziale monografia (in italiano ed inglese) offre l’opportunità di esplorare una selezione delle sue opere paesaggistiche (62 immagini a colori) nel corso della sua lunga carriera artistica, presentandole alle nuove generazioni. Nel vedere le sue opere d’arte e l’essenza della sua espressione artistica, viene rivelata la ragione del suo successo.
Emilio Giuseppe Dossena was a dedicated artist who should be remembered in the Art World for his versatility, his openness to experimentation but most of all, for his love of color. The dashing approach to his creations reflect his need to put this love of his onto the canvass. In his sixty years as an artist he proved himself over and over. He lived to create and his was definitely a Life in the Arts.
This web page is only a small taster of his work and abilities. A biographical book is on the way and will be published by the end of 2020.
