Cesare Bruno devoted his entire life to art, showing a growing interest in a recurring subject that he developed in several directions: chairs have become for Cesare Bruno what Metaphysical Squares were for De Chirico.

In spite of the evident and quite exclusive choice of a single subject, his painting has always been multiform and, I would even say, eclectic.

His chairs have got many souls; you can find the chair symbolizing the crowd and the solitary chair, the talking chair and the enigmatic one, the ironic chair and the dramatic one, the chair living in a bizarre world and the chair living in a familiar world; the chair as an icon of existence and the chair meant as pure emblem of beauty

His first one-man show takes place in Turin, 1972, then other important exhibitions follow in 1972 again (Asti and Bologna),in 1975 (Milan and Turin), in 1976 and 1977 (Alessandria), in 1979 (Stuttgart, Germany), where he is entirely successful, in 1981 (Alessandria and Stuttgart again), in 1983 (Acqui Terme) and Rome in 1987.

He then exhibited at many other galleries and in 1992 presented his anthology, edited by Marco Rosci, at the club Piemonte Artistico Culturale, Turin.

He exhibited his works at several prestigious group shows, too. Hisfirst one, titled “Mostra dei Maestri” takes place in 1967 at the Gal- lery Garofalo, Rovigo.

He takes part as well in the Figurative Art Show at the gallery La Promo-trice, Turin (1972), in the show “Citta Amica” at the Gallery Bolaffi, Turin (1973), in the 21st Quadrennial National Art Exhibition (1974), in the show “Le figure dell’Enigma” - 17th Vast Painting Prize (1975), in the Contemporary Painting National Show Citta di Borgose-sia (1976), in “Rassegna D’Aprés” at the Gallery Kira Datrino, Torre Canavese (1977).

He then exhibited for Unicef (1986), presented his works at the club Circolo Degli Artisti, Turin (1985), at the 23rd Aldo Roncaglia Biennial Exhition at San Felice sul Panaro (1992), and at Lingotto Fair Artissima, Turin (1997).

His painting awakened the curiousity, the interest and the enthusiasm of several art critics and writers like Giovanni Arpino, who writes: “Cesare Bruno ’s work is attaining its own globalism, daring itself for sure”
