From the tranquility of early childhood amid the Alps of northern Italy, through the chaos of World War II and the uncertainty of post-war Europe, the first seasons of Carla Carli Mazzucato's life were marked by both beauty and personal tragedy. With the death of her father when she was twelve, and an adolescence spent with her grandfather away from home, she put her dreams aside to help support her family.


But her restless heart and the hope instilled in her by her father years before, reawakened her yearning for something more in her life.


As a young immigrant to the United States in 1962, she married, started a family and began a journey that would see her rise to prominence in the contemporary art world and travel two continents with her work. The canvas onto which she painted her life gave voice to a lifetime of experiences and influences that shaped her vision of the better world she hoped to create.


___



Here is the story of her journey, from youth, through adversity and to professional and personal fulfillment. It is a story of innocence splintered by war, of searching for purpose and opportunity, of unfailing optimism and enduring hope.

Mazzucato, Carla Carli: - Carla Carli Mazzucato is a 20th-century Italian artist whose contributions to the world of contemporary art help define the "modern expressionist" movement.[1] Known for her unique style and bold color palette, her paintings are described by critics as "dynamic,"[2] "graceful", [3] "timeless,"[4] and have been compared to the masterworks of Chagall, Renoir, Monet and Van Gogh.[5]Mazzucato's art is part of numerous collections in Europe, North America and Asia. Her commissioned work, "Evening at the Opera" hangs in the Detroit Opera House and the artist's fourteen-painting contemporary interpretation of the Passion of Christ is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese collection installed in the church of Corpus Domini in Bolzano, Italy. Mazzucato was recognized as a leading contemporary artist by the SoHo Fine Arts Institute in New York City in 2000.__________[1] Samuel Sachs II (Detroit Institute of Arts), in foreword of "Mazzucato-New Horizons", pub. 1994[2] Dorothy Roatz Myers, "Covering the New York Art Scene" Art Talk Magazine, 1996[3] Giorgio Ruggeri, "The Palette Knife and the Brush of Carla Carli Mazzucato" Exhibit Review, Bologna Italy 1993[4] Franco Basile, "Mazzucato, a diary in colors" Il Resto Del Carlino Newspaper, Italy 1993[5] Gareth Hughes (Presentation College, London), in "Mazzucato-New Horizons", pub. 1994
