Luigi Corbellini( 1901-1968
)
I first met Luigi Corbellini in the late
1950s, while he was in Pasadena for a showing of his works
at a local gallery. He was a flamboyant Italian, who lived
in Paris. He dressed very colorfully,just like he paints. I
especially liked his wistful young lady, "Fillette a la
Tresse." He explained this painting in this way: he had
hired a professional model to come to his studio in Paris.
When she arrived, she brought her daughter with her, and
Luigi found the daughter so entrancing that he painted the
girl instead of her mother!
I bought the painting on the spot, and
have enjoyed it for many years.
This painting is available for sale from the collector.
