Barbarigo, Ida

*1925 Venice (ITA) – †2018 Venice (ITA)

Ida Barbarigo was born in Venice in 1925 as the daughter of the Cadorin family of artists. At a young age she studied architecture with her uncle, but soon gave it up to devote herself entirely to painting. From 1942 to 1946 she attended courses at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, where her father was rector at the time.
 
In this early creative period, Barbarigo dealt with themes that would accompany her throughout her life: Chairs and their unexpected compositions that they make in the cityscape, individuals, people in empty space as witnesses of time and monuments surrounded by an ancient Venice. When she married the well-known artist Zoran Music in 1949, she began to commute between Paris and Venice.
 
In the post-war period, the artist traveled extensively throughout Europe, especially Switzerland and France. Influenced by this experience, she declared that she wanted to unlearn painting in order to find her own individual essence and express her personal feelings. Thus, she gave an even more intense expression to her pictorial motifs of urban scenes. It seems as if one could catch the atmosphere of St. Mark's Square or of a bouquet of flowers: in her etchings, mainly in monochrome, vivid contours testify to a view that has just been caught and that lingers as a vivid memory, undisturbed by distracting colors.
 
Ida Barbarigo participated in numerous exhibitions in galleries in London, New York, Bologna, Bilbao and Paris. In 1968 she was one of the winners of the Menton Biennale. She died in 2018 in her hometown of Venice.
