Gaetano Crippa known as Roberto Crippa (Monza, 1921 - Bresso, 1972) was an Italian painter, sculptor and aviator. He started painting in 1945, with a figurative style and cubist influence close to Picasso's style. He joined the spatial movement with Lucio Fontana, Gian Carozzi and Giorgio Kaisserlian. Crippa's work, in the early fifties, was centered around a series of paintings called Spirals , a geometric and abstract nature: with the geometric gesture, Crippa created convoluted spaces, which generated rays that ideally projected themselves out of the two-dimensionality of the canvas, in line with the principles of the spatial Manifesto. In the seventies, Roberto Crippa was also involved in Postal art (mail art). One of his postcards, addressed to Eraldo Di Vita in Milan, is also published in his monograph.
