Although Italian born and bred, Tancredi Parmeggiani, better known simply as Tancredi, was an artist who quickly developed an international reputation. His studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice led to close links with the city, and also a close friendship with fellow Italian modern master Emilio Vedova. He spent some time in Paris in 1946-47, soaking up its creative atmosphere, but soon returned to his native land.,His first solo show took place at the Galleria Sandri in Venice in 1949, when the artist was just twenty-two years of age. Following a two year sojourn in Rome, Tancredi was drawn back to Venice for a four year period which was perhaps to be the most important for his artistic development; for it was during this time that he met Peggy Guggenheim, one of the most influential collectors and taste-makers of the day. The effect of this meeting of minds on both his reputation and his art was to be immense.,Guggenheim, much taken with the young artist's ideas, set Tancredi up in a studio in her stately Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, an eighteenth-century palace which had ultimately remained unfinished. The Palazzo's classical exterior belied a distinctly modernist interior filled with creativity and hung with works from Guggenheim's ever growing collection. It was here that Tancredi came in to contact with works from across the Atlantic: revolutionary canvases by Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky, Mark Tobey that were to inform his own evolution. The next three years would bring success after success for the Italian; in 1952 he won the Grand Prize for painting at the Venice Biennale, his solo shows in Milan and Venice in 1953 were met with acclaim, and in 1954 his work was not only at the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, but also included in a significant exhibition entitled Tendances actuelles (Contemporary Trends) at the Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland. Here his paintings were placed in context with other emerging names from around the globe; Georges Mathieu, Jackson Pollock, Wols, Sam Francis, Jean-Paul Riopelle and Mark Tobey. Tancredi's reputation as a crucial figure in the success of modern abstraction was assured
