Bruno Paoli is a modern master whose stylistic vision finds a kindred spirit in artists of the past like Paul Gaughin and Amedeo Modigliani. Gaughin’s rich earth colors, flattened forms and rhythmic line quality echo Paoli’s flowing contour lines and spatial organization. Modigliani’s sensuous color, harmony and elegantly depicted nudes, relate to Paoli’s reclining beauties. As professor at the Art Institute of Porta Romana from 1950-1992, Bruno Paoli furthered this modern figurative style by creating his own.

He was born in Florence, Italy in 1915. Upon obtaining a diploma in Art (Painting and Drawing) from the Art Institute of Florence, Bruno Paoli showed his art internationally. A few of his memorable exhibitions were at the Galleria Flore in 1942, and 1943 at the Via Larga Gallery. After exhibiting at numerous one-man shows, he received critical recognition in 1953, when he was awarded the famed buying prize from the Gallery of Modern Art in Florence. This was followed by the prestigious Mario Bucci award. Currently, his work is found in the Stia Museum in Tuscany and in numerous private and corporate collections worldwide.

One of the last of the 20th century original modern masters, Bruno Paoli represents art of an enduring tradition – embodying technical mastery, originality and beauty.
