Catalogue Note

“Il pittore in generale prima si è messo a dipingere per passione e poi ha fatto di tale arte la ragione della sua esistenza, in ogni modo è proprio in questa ragione di esistenza che io cerco una identità, la più assoluta possibile, con il tempo attuale”.
Giulio Turcato, Milano 1957

"The painter first starts painting out of passion, and then he makes his art the reason for his existence. In any case it is precisely in this reason for existing that I seek an identity, and the most absolute possible at that, in the current time."
