Alberto Martini (Oderzo, 1876 - Milan, 1954); he was an Italian draftsman, painter, engraver and illustrator, forerunner of the surrealist movement. Visiting the house-museum in his hometown, one gets the impression of being in front of a painter, but above all a "French" illustrator. He was a notable portrait painter. He reached the pinnacle of success with the theater on the water and was back in Paris in the twenties until 1934. Certain lithographs were very modern, above all The Kiss from 1915.
