Gino Tancredi Sandri (Rossiglione, 14 febbraio 1892 – Mombello, 6 novembre 1959)[1] was an italian artist.[2]
Gino Sandri was born in Rossiglione (GE) in 1892, in 1899 lhis family moved to Milan. In 1908, he worked as a bookseller at the Hoepli bookstore with Cesarino Branduani and Giovanni Scheiwiller.
A precocious talent and an extraordinary draftsman, in 1911 he enrolled at the Brera Academy in Milan, where he studied under Cesare Tallone, V. Bignami, G. Mentessi e F. Confalonieri. He frequented the studios of E. Longoni, Adolfo Wildt and G. Belloni. At the age of 24, in 1916, e illustrated Qua e là per il mondo by L. Barzini for Hoepli (along with A. Beltrami and R. Salvadori) and worked as an illustrator for Corriere dei Piccoli, La Novella, La Lettura, and Il Guerin Meschino.
In 1921, he illustrated Fanciulli d'Italia by A.V. Gentile for Hoepli (published in 1926) and A Sentimental Journey by Laurence Sterne. In 1923, he worked on an edition of Poesie edite ed inedite by Carlo Porta (published in 1929). He participated in exhibitions at the Permanente in Milan and various other shows, receiving praise and recognition. He was awarded at Palazzo Pitti in Florence at an exhibition of illustrators. The press covered Gino Sandri on multiple occasions. He associated with Carlo Carrà, Aldo Carpi, and other contemporary artists.
In Rome, in 1924, he was detained by the Voluntary Militia for National Security in a state of agitation (uttering "politically charged" ramblings) and transferred to the provincial asylum at the Santo Spirito Institute. After being discharged, he returned to Milan, where he was again institutionalized. Due to prolonged periods of confinement in care facilities, Sandri disappeared from the attention of colleagues, critics, and the public. The painful personal ordeal that befell him abruptly ended his career.
During periods of release, he worked on drafts for other publications, including I Promessi Sposi, and attempted to reconnect with the art world, but found only "closed doors due to (his) condition of impairment." He died, abandoned, at the Mombello psychiatric institute in Limbiate on November 6, 1959.[3]
The somatic drawings created at the Mombello institute, along with his writings—part of the Archive of the painter Gino Sandri—were declared "of particularly important historical interest" by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and the Archival Superintendence for Lombardy on December 1, 2008. They have been placed under the regulations of Legislative Decree No. 42 of January 22, 2004.[4]
Works by Gino Sandri are preserved at the Harvard Art Museums in Cambridge and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.[5][6]
