GEMMA VERCELLI
Gemma Vercelli, pittrice, nata a Torino 1906-1995.
Come suo fratello Renato, Gemma Vercelli ricevette i primi insegnamenti dal  padre Giulio Romano. Eccetto brevi soggiorni a Nizza, Parigi e Londra, visse e lavoro a Torino fino al 1960 epoca alla quale si trasferi in campagna. La pittura di Gemma Vercelli è totalmente idealista, allegorica, simboleggiando sentimenti, cicli della natura o diverse mitologie con visi e corpi di donne eteree. Sono da citare la cura con la quale riesce a mostrare lo sguardo e la sua maestria nel dare vita alle mani. La sua tecnica ricorda talvolta il « pointillisme » grazie alle delicatezza di tocco e la finezza dei colori.
Fece mostre fin dal 1930 a Torino (Galleria Caver), Milano, Parigi (Galeria Marcel Bernheim), Roma, Genova, Londra, New York (Galeria L.Duncan), Bruxelles, Zurigo, Principato di Monaco.

Gemma VERCELLI, Peintre née a Torino, 1906-1995.
Comme son frère Renato, Gemma Vercelli a reçu les premiers enseignements de son père Giulio Romano. Sauf de brefs séjours a Nice, Paris et Londres, elle a presque toujours vécu et travaille a Torino jusqu'en 1960. A partir de cette date elle s'est installée a la campagne.La peinture de Gemma Vercelli est tout à fait idealiste, allégorique, symbolisant sentiments, cycles de la nature ou diverses mythologies par des visages et des corps de femmes éthérées. On cite l'attention qu’elle porte à rendre un regard et son habileté a donner vie aux mains .Sa technique évoque parfois le pointillisme par la finesse des touches colorées.
Depuis 1930 elle expose a Torino (Galleria Caver), Milano, Paris (Galerie Marcel Bernheim), Roma, Genova,
London, New York (Galerie L. Duncan), Bruxelles, Zurich, Principauté de Monaco.

Gemma Vercelli  ジェンマ・ヴェルチェリ(画家)トリノに生まれる。(1906~1995)
兄のレナトと同様ジェンマ・ヴェルチェリは、父であるジュリオ・ロマノに初めて絵の手ほどきを受ける。ニース、パリ、ロンドンでの短い滞在を'除いてジェンマは1960年までの殆どをトリノで過ごし活動する。ジェンマ・ヴェルチェリの感情を'象徴した絵は、素晴らしく観念主義的であり、また寓話的であり、純粋な女性の体や表情によって様々な神話や自然の周期を'表現している。彼女は作品の中で特に女性の視線に注意をおき、巧みなテクニックによって手の表情に完全と言って良いほどの生命力を与えている。彼女の技巧は繊細なカラータッチの点描画を連想させる。
1930年から、トリノ、ブリュッセル、チューリッを、モナコ、ミラノ、ロンドン、ニューヨークに於いて作品を発表。

Gemma Vercelli, painter born in Torino, 1906- 1995.
Like her brother Renato, Gemma vercelli was given her first painting lessons by her father giulio Romano. Apart from short visits to Nice, Paris and London, she lived and worked mainly in Torino until 1960. From that date on she settled in the countryside. The paintings og Gemma are totally idealistic allegorical, symbolizing emotions, nature's cycles, or various mythologies by women's ethereal bodies and faces. Most notable is her fine rendering of expression in the eyes, and her gift to give life to the hands. Her technique using delicate touches of colours sometimes evokes pointillism (...)
