The exhibition \u201cMeravigliosa Alice\u201d is a retrospective dedicated to Alice Psacaropulo: having discovered in Trieste\u00a0a group of artworks, which have never been seen, the Concilio Europeo dell\u2019Arte decided to dedicate a solo exhibition to these works.
The displayed artworks are dated back to\u00a01939 \u2013 1943, the period of Psacaropulo\u2019s attendance\u00a0at Casorati\u2019s Atelier and Albertina Academy of Turin: most of them are oil on boards and, due to the war straitened circumstances, often painted on both sides. The artworks (portraits, still lifes, and a precious crucifixion) reveal that\u00a0her creativity reinterprets the Casorati\u2019s magic realism, just before passing through\u00a0the post-Cubist current and the language of Abstract Art.
This exhibition\u00a0is held exactly 70 years after the last one\u00a0in Venice (1946): on that occasion, a twenty-five years old Alice displayed\u00a0her artworks together with De Pisis and Carr\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1944 she graduated\u00a0at the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature at the University of Trieste and became the assistant of Professor Luigi Coletti, teacher of History of Art.\u00a0In this period she got in touch\u00a0with the Forte Nuovo Art School of Venice and many artists: Giuseppe Santomaso, Carlo Carr\u00e0 and Filippo de Pisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1948 her artworks were exhibited at the 24th Biennale di Venezia and at the 5th Quadriennale di Roma. In the 50s she taught painting at the Popoular University of Trieste. In 1956 her works were exhibited once again for the 7th Quadriennale di Roma. In the 60s and 70s she worked in Venice, Udine, Trieste, Napoli, Paris, Madrid, Wien, Milan, Ljubljana and Stockholm.
