Anselmo Bucci was born in Fossombrone in the province of Pesaro, in 1887 and died at Monza in 1955. He was a painter, printmaker and writer.
Between 1906 and 1914 living in Paris. Initially, with great economic difficulties, we find among his writings the phrase " I arrived in Paris in 1906. I did il primo pasto nel 1910 ". Si stabilisce nel quartiere di Montmartre, dove entra a contatto con le correnti dell’avanguardia, ma rimane fedele alla figurazione post-impressionista. Sono di quel periodo le frequentazioni di Modigliani, Severini, Picasso, Utrillo, Dufy e altri artisti.
Al periodo parigino risalgono le prime esperienze con le tecniche dell’incisione. Da subito la punta secca diviene la sua preferita. Bucci attribuisce a questo mezzo la capacità di “ ripresa immediata della città in movimento . Non sarà l’unico mezzo calcografico usato, infatti realizza dei fogli grafici usando la tecnica della litografia. Durante il soggiorno Paris, between 1908 and 1909, recorded the series " Paris qui bouge" in Italian "Paris on the move, published in Paris by Devambez. The theme of the cuts was the modern city life, the movement of people and views of the city teeming with life.
In 1915 he returned to Italy, where he exhibited with considerable success, at the National Italian Engravings at the Permanente in Milan and held his first solo Milan and Monza.
was among the founders of the twentieth century artistic movement that sought to recover the fine arts and was opposed to the choices of the avant garde. Since the late twenties exhibited regularly at the Quadrennial in Rome and the Venice Biennale. Much of his art is owned museum, which is divided between: the Art Gallery of Fossombrone Cesarini, with about 600 tables, the Civic Gallery Bertarelli, Milan, with more than 400 and the National Institute for Graphics in Rome, with 34 plates.
