There Modern Review of Arts and Life of July 30, 1922 said about him4 :"Arduino Colato's artistic career is already marked by works of great value, several of which have achieved great success at exhibitions. Colato was born in Verona (Italy) in November 1880, he came to Paris at the age of twenty and made a career in our country. This artist prefers portraits and nudes. His generally drawn nude studies are highly regarded; they are delicate and fine works, some of which, through their grace and supple drawing, recall certain drawings by the masters of the XVIIIe century. Colato also made many still lifes, as well as views of Italian cities: Venice, Verona etc. Moreover, his submission to the French artists' salon consisted of a remarkable painting entitled A square in Verona. The artist was able to bring the purest inspiration and his best means of execution into this representation of his hometown. Colato, who has had group exhibitions of his works, notably at the Modern Gallery turns out to be a surprisingly flexible and fine artist. He uses very simple means, but he knows how to show great clarity in everything he represents. No overload, no idle details; the line has liveliness at the same time as finesse. It is indeed the art of a man who was born under a clear and clean sky and who knew in his country the precise lines that objects outline in space. »Arduino Colato rests in the cemetery of Mesves-sur-Loire with his friend Alfred Pina (1887-1966). century.
