| _ The cinema of Renato Casaro | ||||||||
|
||||||||
| The cinema of Renato Casaro In collaboration with the Renato Casaro Archive Exhibition in preparation for 2011 Curated by Roberto Festi and Eugenio Manzato Catalogue by esaExpoedizioni "The cinema is my hobby, my hobby is my work, my work is my life, and my life is a film". Thus Renato Casaro (Treviso, 1935) characterizes his profession, after forty years of dedication to the world of cinema as a poster artist. Casaro is the youngest and one of the most celebrated exponents of a school which has made a decisive contribution to the success of a great many films. He came into the industry as long ago as the 1950s, and after an apprenticeship at the Favalli studio in Rome he made a name as one of the most skilful "painters" in cinema. By virtue of his amazing hyper-realism, which looks to classical painting for inspiration, he developed into the artist of choice for producers worldwide, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. It was during that period that he created the posters for some of the great works of cinema (The Last Emperor, The Sheltering Sky, Dances With Wolves, Rambo, Nikita, and Once Upon a Time in America). This exhibition presents over a hundred original sketches, from the artist's own archive and from important public and private collections, in many cases alongside the actual printed poster. The works are interspersed with a series of "tributes" which Casaro has dedicated, in recent years, to the world of the big screen. All the items in the show are included in the dual-language (Italian/ English) catalogue featuring critical writings on the artist and a first analytical catalogue of his work for the cinema. The exhibition is scheduled to visit two venues from autumn 2011. |
