Author: Vincenzo Censotti (1913-2005), Tuscan painter, but Trevigiano by adoption.
Painter from Arezzo, but from Treviso by adoption. Of Tuscan origin, he spent most of his life in the Veneto. He studied in Florence at the Art Institute. He has taken part in numerous exhibitions in the pre-war period and in many personal and collective exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
In his swaying between Tuscanism and Venetianism, between timbre and tone, between construction and impression, he can be considered one of the most interesting masters of the landscape painting scene, not only in the Veneto. A master of great linguistic autonomy with an evident aesthetic and moral balance. His painting is characterised by the organisation of space and proportions, by plays of light and shadow, by landscapes and still lifes that reach the metaphysical limit.
