He has been painting since he was a boy, during his years at the art high school in via Ripetta, where he was fortunate to have excellent teachers such as Domenico Purificazione, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Umberto Maganzini and Giulio Turcato.At the end of the 1950s he frequented via Margutta and nel 1961 opens a studio with Sebastiano Sanguigni. The following year he moved the studio to via Pompeo Magno, in the Prati district, where he remained for ten years.In the 1964 he founded the group and the magazine of the same name Il Ferro di Cavalli, in which intellectuals and artists of the time collaborated.In the 1967 with some of them, such as Daniela Romano and Giorgio Fasan, he created the experimental film-painting The Big Apple which, in a neo-expressionist key, tells the story of consumer society, its alienations and possible alternatives. The film is screened at the XI Festival dei due Mondi in Spoleto.In 1968 presents his first solo show in via Margutta in Rome, in a gallery that he opens himself with the help of friends. He exhibits the large painting In the Death of Luther King. This first exhibition is not a success, but on the closing night the sports journalist Ennio Viero enters and will become its first collector. Another of his first admirers was the printer Bruno Fogar and the American gallery owner TW Burger organized a solo show for him in Chicago.The painting Le ombre was exhibited at the VI Exhibition of Figurative Arts of Rome and Lazio at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, while the Pinacoteca Comunale of Rome purchased one of his works.At the end of the 1960s he introduced satire and sarcasm into his poetics: he abandoned dark and deep tones and began to describe characters from the lower middle class of the early twentieth century. He then develops a new language, which evokes parallels with George Grosz, Otto Dix, James Ensor, Mino Maccari and Heinrich Hoerle. Thus in 1970 at the Il Calibro gallery in Rome he presents a series of paintings on the theme Trial of the bourgeoisie.He began to frequent the Caffè Fassi, where he met Agostino Agostini and other chess players like him, who would become the protagonists of many of his works.He exhibited for the first time in Milan at the Il Cannocchiale gallery in via Brera. On this occasion, Dino Buzzati dedicated a review to him in Il Corriere della Sera.In recent years he was deeply impressed by Bosch and Brueghel, but also by Jaques Callot, from whom he drew inspiration for some original perspective solutions. In The Dukes we find Piero della Francesca; He is still interested in Goya for his great choral compositions and for the crude way of representing violence and Grosz and Dix, certainly, for the tragic and scathing representation of society. Among his contemporaries he appreciated Longanesi and Maccari.In the 1974 at the Palmieri gallery in Milan he exhibited his first Ship of Fools. There he met Salvatore Fiume (link to Fiume's page), who purchased two of his works and with whom the following year in Canzo, in the province of Como, he created a large four-handed painting (The Condemnation of Christ), destined for the Vatican Museums , which will also be exhibited for a month at the L'Isola gallery in Milan. In that period Franz Borghese went to live in via della Scrofa, in the historic center of Rome, which would become the backdrop for several of his works. 1976 he created around a hundred satirical drawings on militarism, collected in the book W laGuerra, presented in a traveling exhibition that travels from Perugia to Milan, Rome, Naples, Avellino and Bari.Over the years the exhibitions continue in Italy and abroad and in 1986 the great public exhibition is held at the National Museum of Castel Sant'Angelo, curated by Carmine Benincasa, with works created between 1969 and the 1986. A monograph published by Giorgio Mondadori, with a preface by Giorgio Bocca, is presented at the Brerarte headquarters in Milan.The following year Franz Borghese signed the cover of February Art with the work Lighter than Air and resumed his studies for the cycle of paintings The Rake's Career, revisiting the famous series by William Hogarth.In the 1989, in homage to the French Revolution, exhibited twenty watercolors entitled History of the Grande Armèe at the Bologna Art Fair.In the 1990 writes and illustrates Waterloo, an imaginary battle.This year is the first solo exhibition at the Artesanterasmo gallery in Milan, with whichhe collaborated regularly for 15 years, until his death.For any clarification or problem do not hesitate to contact us Our works are all certified; an invoice will be issued upon request.
