Duilio Cambellotti 1876 Roma-1960 Roma

The She-Wolf Original sketch for one of two plastic decorations in marble and bronze for a portal in the atrium of the Giosuè Carducci Magistral School in Rome Duilio Cambellotti was a silographer and sculptor, costume and set designer, designer and decorator, illustrator and decorator. Convinced that art should address the whole of society by involving all its products, Cambellotti devoted himself to the applied arts with great enthusiasm without neglecting any aspect of it. Among the first in Italy, he championed the theories of William Morris and Henry Van De Velde, promoting the applied arts and directing his research toward all kinds of technical experimentation. His entire vast and complex oeuvre is in fact characterized by a new interpretation of everyday forms and inspired by the inexhaustible repertoire offered by the world of Nature. In this sense his work is close to that of some German painters of the time, such as Max Klinger and Otto Greiner, who were also proponents of the "total" work of art. Cambellotti had many contacts with all the most important exponents of the Italian art scene at the turn of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from Balla to Boccioni to D'Annunzio@@@ he also worked for the greatest publishers (Bemporad, Alinari, Mondadori, De Fonseca, Notari), and his activity as an illustrator is among the most fruitful and innovative of the time.
