Casorati himself wrote, in 1931: “In taking up, against me, the old polemic of classicism and romanticism, people rail against intellectualized and scholastic order, accuse my art of being insincere, and wilfully academic—in a word, of being neoclassical. … since my art is born, so to speak, from within, and never has its source in changing “impressions”, it is quite natural that … static forms, and not the fluid images of passion, should be reflected in my works”.
His critics shit on him because his art wasn’t impressionistic like others of the time. He’s basically stating that he made art for the sake of making art that was within himself.
Never heard this guy, but his wiki is on point.
I don’t know what that means, but he painted pretty girls!

That’s pretty metal. Going against the trends.
