Segantini: Back to Nature

Documentary • Unrated • Directed by: Francesco Fei • 77 minutes

Segantini: back to nature tells the unique and extraordinary story of Giovanni Segantini, focusing on his way of feeling nature as a source of artistic and spiritual inspiration. Born in Arco di Trento, a man of humble origins with a tortuous life path, Segantini will become one of the most important symbolist painters in the 19th century. Segantini was a magnificently instinctual painter who liked to call himself "mountain bear," and this helped him steer clear of rhetoric.
