Alfredo Volpi: The Poetics of Colour

Published for the first retrospective outside Brazil of the Italian-born artist, held at the Nouveau Musee National de Monaco, this book sheds light on Brazilian modernist painter Alfredo Volpi (1896-1988), offering a thorough exploration in words and images of the painter’s peculiar life and career–from the bounds and relationships with the Brazilian art community to his special link to the city of Sao Paulo and his adopted country, leading to the development of his unique artistic language.
