Augusto Colombo (1902-1969) – a painter often described as a leading representative of figurative realism, began his artistic journey in Milan at the School of Art and Craft. His talent was recognized early on, winning the “Cesare Sarfatti” award at the age of 22, allowing him to deepen his painting knowledge in Rome, Florence, and Paris for the next two years. In the following years, he participated in numerous exhibitions, with his first solo exhibition in 1939 on the initiative of Società per le Belle Arti e Permanente. Colombo left his mark on paintings that combine aesthetic value with deep “human” content, as demonstrated by large compositions in Palazzo Marino and the Basilica of San Babila in Milan, in Vittoriano in Rome, in the collections of Ospedale Maggiore in Milan and the hospital of St. Anna in Como, in Cassa di Risparmio and Avis in Milan, and in public and private collections in Switzerland, Argentina, Mexico, and Panama. His love for painting was passed on to future generations; in 1933, he founded his art school, where more than 800 students were trained over 36 years of its existence. He was also a dedicated anti-fascist, reflected in his drawings depicting the horrors of World War II and the political events of his time. His political convictions extended beyond painting; during the war, in Como, he became the commander of partisan training. After the war, he continued his artistic journey, focusing primarily on larger compositions, devoting considerable attention to religious themes. His works are highly esteemed and can be found in several museums in Italy and abroad. This remarkable individual was not only an artist but also a teacher, activist, and critic, who lived by his motto: “I paint to show things and ideas I believe in.”
