Dino Villani - "Fron the magazine Parliamoci," 1971
"In the drawings and paintings he showed at the Galleria La Cripta (1971), Angelo Marchetti revealed his commitment to making us feel man straining in the effort to free himself from the weight and constraints of matter, in the attempt to recover the pure spirit from which he was born. The graphic discourse of the drawings is conducted with the contour line alone, to mark the expression of the figures, while in the paintings the artist avails himself of every means, (strong drawing, daring perspectives, vivid contrasts, vibrant colours, tightly knit compositions) to prove the more effective.
A serious artist who fights his battle like a crusader: with authority and firmness, yet carrying his artistic maturity forward as well, for he knows that one can become more persuasive through a beguiling language.
Dino Villani (Nogara, 16 August 1898 – Milan, 13 March 1989) was an Italian advertising executive, painter, graphic artist, engraver, and art critic.
