I am glad to submit you my website http://www.ponziettore.it dedicated to the italian painter Ettore Ponzi (1908-1992).
Ettore Ponzi studied at the Art Institute of Parma with Paolo Baratta, Guido Marussigh and Pietro Berzolla, and he got his degree in 1934.
During the second world war he gained the first prize in the Artistic Competition of Military Division in Arezzo and participated to the second edition of the Cremona city Prize. After the 8th of September
1943 he was interned in the concentration camp of Witzendorf, where he remained until the end of the conflict in April 1945. This bitter experience is documented in approximately forty works in pencil and water-colour.
Returned in his native land in August 1945 he found his city wounded by the aerial bombardment and his house destroyed. He settled with the family in a ruined palace placed in the flank of the apse of the cathedral, this gave him the opportunity to witness in his paintings the state of the monument and its neighbourhood.
He was mainly a landscape painter and considered also a good portraitist.

Very impressive work. I was particularly taken by the Images of Fidenza.

It's not typical of most of the works displayed, but I was really struck by the painting Scamandro. It has a kind of Futurist feel to it. I personally don't care much for pure abstraction, but I do like the effect when figurative composition is pushed to the point of abstraction.
