Agnese Udinotti

Week 8:

Very few sources discuss about her and there is very little evidence of her art. My goal is to find at least a few pictures of her work. I would also like to find out if her art inspired a new movement or a group of people and if it did, I would like to talk about that. Additionally, if I find some information about her early and personal life, her works or exhibitions, I would also add that.

Week 10:

 Early Life: 

Udinotti was born in January 9, 1940 in Greece. At age 4, her father was executed by the Communists after World War ll. He was an Italian and activist who helped Jewish families escape and was accused for working against the Greek and Italian government. In effect, he was shot along with 2000 prisoners outside of Athens. This tragedy would later on affect Agnese's works such as her commemorative series called "Monument To My Father." Barely a teenager when she left for United States and with her developing passion for art, Agnese enrolled in Arizona State University.

 Education: 

Around 1961 to 1963, in Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, Udinotti earned her bachelor's and master's degree.

 Works: 

As evident in her paintings, Agnese has stated in one of her interviews that her father has been the leading inspiration for her art and in making herself successful. In 1987, she began working on the series called "Monument to My Father," which was her first three-dimensional work. This consists of oil paints and plaster with her written poetry on stelae.

Then she began "Shadow Images" which was a commemorative piece after for her mother's death. This consists of graphite with the use of negative space.

In 2000, Udinotti began founding the Udinotti Museum of Figurative Art, a personally-funded and private organization. Agnese was dedicated in educating and sharing with the public the ancient messages of art. She then worked towards curating the artworks and planning the construction of the museum. It officially opened in November 2007.
