Cornelio GERANZANI (Genoa 1880 – 1955)
Italian Divisionist painter. He gave up his law studies to take up painting, studying under Giovanni Quinzio, who was then director of the Accademia Ligustica in Genoa. After initially embracing the theory and technique of Pointillism, he soon moved on from conventional landscape painting to the Divisionist technique. He exhibited in Genoa and Rome in 1910, at the Palazzo Bianco in Genoa in 1916, and in Milan in 1917. He took part in the 19th Venice Biennale. His works can be found in the Galleria d’arte moderna in Genoa.
