Anita Spinelli

Anita Spinelli (08.01.1908-24.03.2010) was a Swiss artist, painter and drawer also known for her approaches to graphic work. In her rich iconography she explores themes related to being. Formally and in content her work expresses a profound urge for freedom and was therefore never affiliated with a particular artistic movement.

Life

Spinelli was born Anita Corti, in Balerna, Ticino in 1908, the third child of four to Gemma and Gaetano Corti. She was initiated to art quite early. Her father a businessman in winery patronized several artists. He liked to entertain his children with drawing games. Anita’s talent quickly became apparent. After middle school she attends the Arts and Crafts School in Lugano and Guido Gonzato’s studio .

Defying conventions and her family, she registered at the Brera Academy of Art in Milan, attended the special courses with Aldo Carpi and graduated in 1933. During this period she immersed herself in the buoyant artistic life of Milan, travelled to Paris and Vienna and sojourned several months in Assisi, where she lived in the monastery to study Giotto’s frescos. In 1932 she married Paolo Spinelli, a civil servant and landowner with whom she had two daughters. They moved to their mansion of Pignora, Novazzano in Ticino, where she will live and work for most of her life .

To force open the regional and cultural isolation she engaged into extended travelling in the Mediterranean Basin and Europe, Africa, Central America and Cina with repeated and prolonged stays in the USA. The vast array of references, reaching from the first human civilizations to contemporary developments, from new spaces and lights to societal behaviors will throughout her whole working life be important sources of renewal and inspiration. In the almost monastic silence of her studio she filtered and elaborated these thoughts.

Anita Spinelli died on 24 March 2010 in Mendrisio of the consequences of an accident occurred in her studio. She has continued to create art until her death.

Work

Spinelli’s work explores those individual and societal questions that characterized her long life as an actor of the 20th and early 21st century. Her poignant work roots in reality, but a reality that she transforms through her inner perception, through intellectual contamination and imaginative accelerations into figures, mental figures , which attain a more radiant pictorial truth . Her look is not purely visual it is emotional participation, on a further level it is taking position with humor or irony, with joy or grief; a third, enigmatic level is that of existential questions . The quests, existential conditions, which encompass the very essence of human life make up her central subjects: hope, joy but also loneliness, silence, memory, fear, separation, oppression, war and hardship . She expresses the interior sentience of being. In Spinelli’s words: ”It is silent, curious listening: a search for the essence of the object, stripped of the superfluous, with hard work and without complacency. To make art means to me being alive among the living. My characters are myself. With them I share the load of good and evil. You cannot cheat .”

Her work spanning over almost a century, Spinelli has addressed and analyzed the formal debates of her time. She explored from metaphysics to post cubist deconstruction, from expressionism to abstractionism to new forms of figuration, however never adhering completely to any one of these positions. Rather she synthesized and bent them freely to her needs. Spinelli developed a novel, personal poetic language characterized by vivid chromatics, dynamism, a wide freedom and complexity in composition, determined by simultaneity and disruption of perspective , where the figure emerges from an abstract spatiality. Spinelli’s language is her own, expressionist in nature, but where a visionary spirit superposes or coexists with the tragic element. In the last period her color-light rarefies to a metaphysical dimension of pure light, transparency and lightness. The freshness of her novel approaches, the sense of freedom and of expressive possibilities together with a constant poetic and ethical tension mark her contribution .
