Savignano sul Rubicone, 1925
Luciano Caldari graduated at the Licao artistico (Art School ) in Bologna in 1945. On arrival in Cesena, he met Alberto Sughi and Giovanni Cappelli and together the three of them formed an union that later would be called "Cesena School".
In the years between 1948-1950 he travelled extensively, with his friends, not only companions in art but who also shared his cultural, political and social ideals staying in Rome and Milan in order to enlarge and enhance his experiences beyond the provincial environment in which he lived.
Instead he travelled in Paris alone, followed by a stay in Calabria, where he observed the conditions of the farm labourers in they struggle for rights against the land owners. These situations brought him to use a decisive and heavy figurative style. Caldari, from the nineteen-sixties, has been involved in existential themes such as the discomfort and unease of modern man, the alienation of daily life; and on a parallel, the colours in his pictorial production become duller and duller .
