Carla Carli Mazzucato (born 2 November 1935) is a 20th-century Italian artist whose contributions to the world of contemporary art helped define the "modern expressionist" movement.[1] Known for her unique style and bold color palette, her paintings are described by critics as “dynamic,”[2] “graceful”,[3] “timeless,”[4] and have been compared to the masterworks of Chagall, Renoir, Monet and Van Gogh.[5]
Mazzucato's art is part of numerous collections in Europe, North America and Asia. Her commissioned work, "Evening at the Opera" hangs in the Detroit Opera House and the artist's fourteen-painting contemporary interpretation of the Passion of Christ is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese collection installed in the church of Corpus Domini in Bolzano, Italy. Mazzucato was recognized as a leading contemporary artist by the SoHo Fine Arts Institute in New York City in 2000.
