This short essay resumes the relationship of the Italian painter Ubaldo Oppi (1889-1942) with contemporary German painting of the Neue Sachlichkeit. Questioning the nationalistic readings of Oppi's work which were typical in art criticism in the early years of the Fascist regime, the realist or "neoclassical" phase of his painted work shows a lot of interesting connections with German coeval realists such as Georg Schrimpf or Carlo Mense. After being included in Franz Roh's "Magischer Realismus" (Leipzig, 1925), Oppi held numerous European exhibitions and his work encountered international figurative and critical fortune all through the 1920s.

Abstract

This short essay resumes the relationship of the Italian painter Ubaldo Oppi (1889-1942) with contemporary German painting of the Neue Sachlichkeit. Questioning the nationalistic readings of Oppi's work which were typical in art criticism in the early years of the Fascist regime, the realist or "neoclassical" phase of his painted work shows a lot of interesting connections with German coeval realists such as Georg Schrimpf or Carlo Mense. After being included in Franz Roh's "Magischer Realismus" (Leipzig, 1925), Oppi held numerous European exhibitions and his work encountered international figurative and critical fortune all through the 1920s.
