Roma – Artist, architect, advertising, lover of fashion and jewelry, design and Egyptian art, but especially crazy for the flight. They were many things Tullio Crali, the versatile protagonist of the artist until 11 May of the exhibition “Tullio Crali. The evolution of the flight”, The first assessment completely devoted to the Airoppirector of the 1920s, compiled by the historic of Art Barbara Martorelli.
His powerful images, the dynamic lines and the innovative aesthetics, which have contributed so much since the dawn to spread the aviation imagination with a visual language of intense expression, find one of the extraordinary frescoes of the historical rooms of Palazzo Aeronautics, in Rome, their natural location. The exhibition can be visited in the historic rooms of Palazzo Aeronautics Militare, free and by reservation, until 11 May, all Sabati and Sunday, Friday 25 April, from 9:30 AM to 18 (last access at 4.30 p.m.).

With a path that embraces more than 80 works, one of the most iconic of the master production, exhibited in chronological order, Crali returns home, in one of the places he would have appreciated. What if Crali was aeronautics in Palazzo, what would you think?
“It would think that the historic rooms of Palazzo Aeronautics Militutica are perhaps the most suitable place for his works. His working dialogue with this environment where everything remembers the plane. It will be the space in which the exhibition will move in the end of May, the historic museum of the Air Force of the Air Force of the Air Force of the Air Force.

In addition to standing still the pictorial evolution of Crali’s technology, from the first experiments of the Air Force to the large format canvases that show the air visions after the war, until the works of the late phase of the artist’s late phase dedicated to the Tricolor -Pijlen, the exhibition talks about the evolution of the flight and the air in general …
“We wanted to create a timeline between the evolution of what the Aeronautics was from the point of view of aircraft and resources, and the life of Tullio Crali. These two themes have always interwoven with each other. The type of aircraft that Tullio wanted this evolution for a poetic way to return a technical evolution of the first Veols”.

He was in love with the Tricolor -Pijlen …
“He never flew on the arrows, he couldn’t have it … Even if he really estimated their pilots. They all exceptionally allowed them to access the Carlina while they were on the ground to look at the interior and touch everything that the pilot managed to carry out the evolutions. He had flown in the first hand, but not experience it from the first hand.”

How did the flight live?
“He succeeded in translating in poetry what the flight is from a technical point of view. He brought him adrenaline sensations. I think he felt these emotions he described so well. Many of his colleagues were very good air -spots, but not everyone tried what he translated in the canvas in a mathematics, but Crali.

He called himself “Life for Life”. What relationship did he have with the movement?
“I can confirm it because I heard it with my ears. He had kept the speech of the closure of futurism to the death of Marinetti bad. Because Tullio Futurism was a belief and could not be canceled at the table. He had always refused to do this and a character was not just a futuristic pain.

Crali was a versatile spirit. What did you try?
“He was a poet, a jewelry designer, made the AerogioiLi that was produced by the house of a Goldsmith in Vicenza and also exposed. It was a graphic designer, an advertisements, he stood for this career as a painter with the eyes of different sectors. The flowers of evil By Charles Baudelaire, of which he made eight canvases, he eventually admitted that he had not left this theme, he would have gone crazy. He also made a series of doors. During an exhibition about Futurism in Veneto, he had deliberately made Lops and it seems that he attracted the anger of the firefighters. Doors of this type certainly have no guarantee for security! In short, for him to change the structures was normal. “

He was also fascinated by Egypt. What was the most passionate?
“He had spent five years in Egypt by shooting wide and sides. He loved him since he was young. Even before he went as a professor, he had made a sphinx. And then he reproduced the Egyptian symbols he saw in the graves, he studied. He discovered that Egyptian art was the basis of Japanese art.

She called him “self -oriented and corrosive”. How was the crali man?
“He was not an easy person. He was centered in his own because, as a good artist, his ego had to dominate everything and everyone. He was biting because he had the courage to say what he was thinking. Of course he had for this reason he had many enemies, both among colleagues and under the art critics that he said he was a very good battle, he was a very good battle, he was a very good battle, he was a very good battle, he was a very good battle.” And attacked a famous art critic who accused him of killing futurism.

When he met him in what career phase was he found?
“I met him in ’73, when I met my husband. When I went to find them in Milan, he and his wife welcomed me to kindness. At that stage it was certainly not the biting Tullus Crali of many other occasions. In the beginning of ’74 I married ‘famous futuristic painter I was afraid to have an experience of archaeological erects … I was afraid …

Have you ever seen it at work while painting?
“Yes, even when we went to his studio in Milan, close to Boccioni’s, in Via Pace, he welcomed us, but stopped to chat with his son who wasn’t always in Milan. When I close his eyes, I still remember the world of the plane.

What can be seen, the work you prefer?
Squadron during the flight It is a work that has fascinated me since the first time I saw it. Piero della Francesca reminds me, with those specific colors that neglect. It is one of the works that the Mart has returned with us Dive on the city “.

Are there works that also remain aeronautics at the end of the exhibition in Palazzo?
“At the moment we said that at the Air Force Palace or at the Vigna di Valle head office, we have to leave the works related to the Frecce Tricolori because they are most suitable. We will certainly leave Tricolor Festival in Celo one The Tricolor -Cijlen“.

Are other appointments planned with Tullio Crali?
“We have planned another exhibition in Rome, but this will not be linked to the Opysss. It will rather be an anthology of Crali. We will also take the paintings that have not been seen here and that will not even be exposed to Vigna di Valle. And then I want to organize something with working with other illustrations to create a parallel.”

What would Tullio Crali start today?
“I don’t know what the world of today would think. Absolutely fascinating him drones and satellites, spacecraft. When the man first finished a foot on the moon for him. Maybe he would be critical of Elon Musk today, but perhaps, who knows he would have converted to conquer space!”.
