Biography
He learned the basics of drawing from his father, he enrolled at the Brera Academy, where he was a student of Cesare Tallone before the world conflict, and of Ambrogio Alciati after
From the beginning at Brera and at the Famiglia Artistica in 1922, he provided evidence of a solid figurativism characterized by a precise personality, not deaf to the calls of the twentieth century.
In 1922 Gussoni exhibited for the first time at the Brera Biennale, and was named an honorary member of the Academy. In the same year he exhibited the work La Spagnola at the Famiglia Artistica in Milan, while the following year, in 1923, re-entering the same event, he presented various works, depicting almost exclusively glamorous models, with the exception of a self-portrait. Again in 1923, he is found at the Permanente in Milan with the work Mantilla.
His portraits also received favorable reviews abroad, especially in the United States.
He is considered a complete artist, he does not shy away from easily treating landscapes, animals, still lifes, sometimes set against nautical backgrounds but he expresses himself best as a figure painter. The female figures, always sinuous, persuasive, sometimes even provocative, occasionally have Spanish references.
One of his models, his favorite, accompanied him over the years.
He cultivated several friendships both in the world of art and culture (Giuseppe di Stefano, Giovanni Barrella, Carlo Dapporto, Carlo Carrà, Aligi Sassu, Orio Vergani)
Many portraits and other paintings are in private collections and galleries, a self-portrait is exhibited at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
Despite a good production of high technical quality and chromatism, on the market the most famous auction houses treat his paintings with low prices.
Gussoni died in Sanremo in 1968, although he enjoyed a certain success in life, the real recognition came posthumously. In fact, after 2000, there were numerous exhibitions that tended to valorize his art.
In 2005 Vittorio Gussoni was one of the artists chosen by the Organizing Committee of the exhibition: 1st Annual Collective Exhibition of the Arts of the Twentieth Century, held at the Chiostro di Voltorre in Gavirate, with the patronage of the Province of Varese and the municipality of Gavirate, supported by the Regional Council of Lombardy.
In 2007 there was a retrospective exhibition of Gussoni at the Castello Visconteo in Pavia, with the patronage of the Lombardy Region.
