[t.a.]Rita Gallé, of Sicilian origin, was born in Caltanisetta in 1931. Fantastic singer and volcanic activity, from Milan, where he worked since 1952, has created works of 'art, painting and sculpture and applied art, from jewelry to furniture, exhibited all over the world.
Work with your publisher and printer Upiglio George, her husband, in the field of graphic art to honor internationally. Rita and George are a pair of "historical" of art from Milan before marriage celebrated in 1974, with shared challenges, meetings, events of all relief, worries and successes. Wrote a few pages of the history of Milan. Rita Gallè, in fact, has experienced a childhood magical and eccentric, consumed between Caltanisetta and Porto Palo in Memphis, including the tuition of an aunt director of the Archaeological Museum of Palermo and university professor and his eyes opened by the sea or under carob trees. E 'on this child that matures in her contemplative and at an elegiac feeling that is nourished, then, of poetry. He is a young girl to the most heterogeneous and asistematiche readings and already dreaming of leaving the north to feel more free to follow the latest news from the fashion, design, art. That is, little more than twenty years old, Rita Gallè left Sicily and moved to Milan. In Piazzale Loreto, there were still the ruins of war, signs of conflict are seen almost everywhere but the city was in turmoil. These are the years in which the starting and momentum of the economic boom of which Milan is the epicenter, which is not devoid of side effects that affect the world. The galleries of art history are renewed, new exhibition spaces are born, we promote events, meetings, activities for all levels and invites artists from every European country and not by the United States as Japan or Korea. A young Rita Gallè live in person this fervor of Milan in which the statement, in art, new movements and neo-avant-garde, revolving around a charismatic figure such as Lucio Fontana. Mac stands for Concrete Art Movement, of which she wrote the manifesto Gillo Dorfles, to "nuclear" or the Nouveau Realism Pierre Restany, from Ives to Kline Dadamiano and Piero Manzoni, Milan, in recent years, a nouvelle frontière artistic. It is ready to accept the abstract geometry of Max as The Bill of informel Tapie, the new thinking of the French existentialist Jean Paul Sartre and contemporary French cinema, proposals Pop Art North American and more. In those years ago Arturo Schwarz Dada born in Milan, with Max Ernest, Marcel Duchamp, André Breton in the foreground, Giorgio Marconi opened his gallery, both bring their artists to the printing of George Upiglio. They are also the years in which Rita Gallè of increasingly dedicated to the arts. opens its two art galleries-the first of a long-range, in 1967 the Study of Beccaro, in 1972, two years before marriage with Upiglio, Galleria, Via Amadei. Why yes, and George and Rita in 1974, got married. Their artistic association becomes, after this date, more balance, however, their respective biographies are very different and very individual and separate, even divergent. Rethink all this, groped to grasp the possibility of contamination between the two respective microcosms, including the artistic workshop of Giorgio Upiglio and the artistic laboratory of Rita Gallè, seeking the key to entering the fantasy world of Rita, it is more that for granted. Senoncgé, what we learn into the house-studio in Via Cernaia, full of works by Rita Gallè, denies any connection. There are many clues that might suggest more ideas coming from or relating to the printing works of art by Giorgio Upiglio, but what you see and occupies every corner of the home-study belongs solely to Rita Gallè. His home studio is also his laboratory speculum of mental and emotional. Mental and emotional not because Rita never separated his art work with the feelings, is an instinctive and emotional. This is probably also its timeliness. Rita Gallè shared with George Upiglio many wonderful encounters with artists, from Giorgio de Chirico to Wilfredo Lam or Alberto Giacometti or Enrico Baj and Mimmo Paladino. However, it feeds only its own state of mind, their feelings and memories, and so what prevails, and even dominating in her, in his laboratory mental and emotional, is determined by an overwhelming subjectivity ....
