Exhibition held at Kent Fine Art, New York, N.Y., Nov. 8-Dec. 14, 1988, Kamakura Gallery, Tokyo, Feb. -Mar. 1989 and David Grob Ltd., London, May-June 1989. ["Medardo Rosso (21 June 1858, Turin, Italy ? 31 March 1928, Milan) was an Italian sculptor. He is thought to have developed the Post Impressionism style in sculpture along with Auguste Rodin..., . To the end of his life Rosso battled unremittingly against the academicians. What absorbed, even obsessed, him was the problem of interpreting life itself. In 1882, some time before he saw any Impressionist paintings, he produced his fully impressionistic sculptures, The Street Singer and Lovers under the Lamplight. In 1884 some friends arranged an exhibition for him in Paris, where he lived for a time in a cheap boarding-house. He also showed that year in Paris at the newly founded Salon des Independants. He met Edgar Degas and called on Auguste Rodin, who was interested in and indeed not uninfluenced by him. The sculptor and teacher Jules Dalou allowed him to work in his Paris studio. In 1885 Rosso returned to Milan, but he never lost contact with Paris. During an open competition held in Milan for a funeral monument to the critic Filippo Filippi, Rosso, who had quickly finished his entry, set it up on the grave without waiting for the judges to announce their decision. On this occasion there was a great outcry against him, but by continuing to follow these tactics in galleries and exhibitions, he gradually wore down the resistance of the authorities.., .
