GIOVANNI SEGANTINI 2/3 – His pointillist technique gathered subjects that nature offered, with long, light strokes, in large landscaped horizons. He was born in one day in January 1858, but soon left without parents, he lives in misery and without affection, to be arrested at the age of 12 years. At the age of 18, Segantini, he starts living in Milan, becoming an apprentice in the workshop of a decorator (but in the evening, for nearly three years, he attended the Brera Academy courses), and came up with his first paintings.
GIOVANNI SEGANTINI 3/3 – In 1880, he knows Bice, his partner for life, the mother of his four children. Giovanni Segantini was fortunate to meet Vittore Grubicy (painter and art dealer), who understands the talent of Giovanni, and became his guide in the art world. Giovanni dies in a day in September 1899, and his wife remembers him with touching words: “In art had not yet said his last word. It would perhaps be transformed again, finding himself entirely, if death had not shut those eyes, who knew so well the light.”
