Casorati, Felice

Casorati, Felice (fālē'chā käsōrä'tē) [key], 1886–1963, Italian painter. Influenced by Beardsley and other English engravers, Casorati, together with Carrà, was involved in the symbolist movement. He was instrumental in the formation of the metaphysical school. An ironic tone and cool refinement are characteristic of his works (e.g., Still Life, c.1942–43; National Gall. of Modern Art, Rome).

A new generation of collectors is discovering the country's contemporary artists and is moving into under-explored areas, such as nineteenth-century Italian painting. (Apollo)
