Giuseppe Ugo Caselli (5 July 1893 – 19 December 1976) was an Italian painter.
Caselli was born inLuzzara (Emilia-Romagna). When he was young, he was student of Felice Del Santo and Antonio Discovolo. In 1913, he became acquainted withLorenzo Viani. DuringWorld War I, Caselli was captured and interned in a concentration camp in Austria. After that, he studied at theAcademy of Fine Arts in Florence, at the"free school of the nude".
His painting style is situated between the first divisionists expressions of the early twentieth century, and a personal expressionism, close to the Austrian groundbreaking movements, but also influenced by the poetry of his friend Viani, with his entire repertoire of characters suffering and desperate.
Withaeropittura ("aeropainting") works, technique derived fromfuturism, Caselli participated in 1933 in thePremio del Golfo (Gulf Award), organized byFilippo Tommaso Marinetti.Being very linked toLa Spezia, Caselli dedicated his painting to portray the life of the city and the province, and specially, the life in theCinque Terre.
Caselli died inLa Spezia, on 19 December 1976, aged 83.
