Mario Comensoli: “Uomini in Blu ”

Published in conjunction with the exhibition held at Spazio Officina, Chiasso, Swizerland. This catalogue explores Mario Comensoli’s pivotal “Uomini in Blu” period (1955–1962), part of the broader celebrations for the centenary of the Lugano-born artist.
Centred on the symbolic blue tones of work uniforms worn by Italian immigrants in post-war Chiasso, the catalogue captures the monumental yet emotive depictions of labourers, their daily lives, and familial reunions.
