SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture by Gautam Shah
Giovanni Boldini (1842-1931) was a well-known Italian artist. He lived mainly in Paris. Boldini received his initial training from his father, a painter and restorer. He also attended the Accademia di Belle Arti (Academy of Fine Arts) in Florence.
Boldini was a celebrated portrait artist. He also painted women engaged in their leisure and other chores, surrounded by rich interiors and in a romantic manner. This and other paintings give off a sense of realism combined with subtle abstract quality.
Boldini came in touch with Edgar Degas and John Singer Sargent. He soon began to paint in his own style, with Impressionist colours and Realists topics. With the turn of a century he began experimenting with abstract effects. He painted architecture with rich Interior and Exteriors.
Boldini was known for fast and flowing brushstrokes, with rich colours. For this technique, he was called Master of Swish.
