“Interior studio”, painting by Aldo Carpi de ‘Resmini (Milan, 6 October 1886 – Milan, 27 March 1973), oil on canvas signed and dated 11 – 19 – 1960 on the lower right.
Aldo Carpi, the famous Italian painter, has a very peculiar history, in fact he was deported to Gusen, a satellite camp in Mauthausen, Austria, where only 2 percent of the prisoners managed to survive. He was saved thanks to his talent and was the author – at the risk of his life – of the only real “live” diary inside an extermination camp. A vertical man, a Righteous who has known and suffered the most atrocious sufferings, but who has never bent to “recognize the active presence of” evil “in the hearts of his fellow men”, as the famous art critic Mario De wrote Micheli.
