Giola Gandini (1906–1941) was an Italian painter.[1]
Biography
Gandini was born on May 19, 1906, in
Parma to Ernesto Gandini and Diomira Di Centa of
Venice. A childhood bout with
polio limited her mobility and contributed to her reclusive lifestyle.[2]
Gandini studied at the
Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia and at the
atelier of the painter Vincenzo De Stefani. Her paintings feature intricate figure studies of women and intimate domestic scenes. Her painting career spanned twelve years from 1929 until her death in 1941. During this time, she participated in many exhibitions, including the
Rome Quadriennale of 1935, and the
Venice Biennale of 1940.[2]
In October 2014, Gandini's work was featured posthumously in the exhibition Gabriella e le altre: quattro donne in Biennale at the Casa delle Muse in
Mirano, Italy. The exhibition also featured work by
Gabriella Oreffice,
Maria Vinca, and
Ernesta Oltremonti and was curated by Patrizia Castagnoli.[2]
In addition to her work as a painter, Gandini was an accomplished pianist. She died September 1941, at the age of 35, in Venice.[2]
