Lorenzo Ghiglieri (1931-2020) was a contemporary American artist whose art transcends mere words, revealing a profound depth of power and beauty that speaks to the essence of human experience. Throughout his illustrious career, Ghiglieri's genius shone brightly, evident in the unparalleled diversity and skill showcased in each of his unique creations. His evocative style, infused with authenticity and passion, ensured that his art would not only endure but occasionally surpass the works of history's great masters.
Born in America to Italian, French, and German immigrants, Ghiglieri was raised amidst a rich ethnic tapestry in the outskirts of Los Angeles, surrounded by the majestic landscapes of southern California. It was within this culturally vibrant environment that his artistic journey began to unfold. After receiving formal training, Ghiglieri delved deeply into the works of the Old Masters, drawing inspiration from luminaries such as Rembrandt, Velazquez, and Corot.
At the tender age of twenty-two, Ghiglieri's talent caught the attention of the United States Government, leading to his first commission as a combat illustrator. His marine scene, created as a gift to Great Britain in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, showcased his exceptional skill and marked the beginning of a remarkable career. Subsequently, Ghiglieri worked as an illustrator for various national accounts in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, collaborating with international advertising agencies.
Throughout his career, Ghiglieri's art captivated audiences with its universal appeal and stirring effect. Each sculpture and painting bore the hallmark of his passion, imbued with meaning and power that resonated deeply with viewers.
