About the Club
Club Macchia is a diverse group of artists, currently mostly painters but one sculptor and one photograher, who exhibit together under the "Club Macchia" banner seeking a common language in artstic expression. The group is inspired by the Risorgmento period in Italian art history when academic styles were losing ground to more experimental, free and expressive forms of artistic expression.
Mission: To bring arts education and exhibits to rural areas. To further the understanding of "American verismo" as a painting style and spread the ideas that style is based upon.
- The concept of macchia
- The personality and motivations of the men and women who worked in that period
- The events of the war which shaped the outcome
- The aftermath and the unresolved issues which came out of the Risorgimento conflict
