Good conditions Mario Schifano (Homs, September 20, 1934 - Rome, January 26, 1998) was an Italian painter and director.

Perfectly inserted in the international cultural panorama of the sixties, he was reputed to be a prolific, exuberant artist and a lover of worldliness. His lifelong drug habit earned him the label of a cursed artist. Passionate scholar of new pictorial techniques, he was among the first to use the computer to create works and was able to process computer images and transfer them onto emulsified canvases (the "computerised canvases").
