Limited edition of 1000. Very good condition. Giuseppe Santomaso (Venice, 1907 – 1990). Trained in Venice in contact with the avant-garde environment around the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation, in 1932 he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts where he later taught (1954-74); in 1937 he stayed in Amsterdam and Paris. Among the promoters, in 1946, of the New Arts Front, in 1952 he participated in the experience of the Group of Eight (Afro, Birolli, Corpora, Moreni, Morlotti, Santomaso, Turcato, Vedova). In 1954 he won the International Painting Prize at the Venice Biennale and over the years he participated in numerous international exhibitions obtaining important recognition. After a neo-cubist debut during the 1960s, Santomaso freed himself from the bonds of informal art to develop a painting made of emotion, spatial suggestions and luminous vibrations. See less
