Bruno Cassinari (Piacenza, 1912 – Milan, 1992) was one of the leading figures of 20th-century Italian painting. After training as an artist in Milan, he came into contact with the cultural scene associated with the Corrente movement, sharing its interest in a style of painting free from official canons and open to new European artistic experiences.

Over the years, Cassinari developed a personal language, in which the figurative tradition meets post-Cubist and Expressionist influences. His relationship with intense and textured color is fundamental, used to construct forms and volumes through vibrant backgrounds, bold contrasts, and strongly defined contours.

The human figure occupies a central role in his work, along with portraits, still lifes, flowers, and landscapes. His experience in Antibes, in the South of France, was also particularly significant, where the Mediterranean light contributed to making his palette brighter and more intense.

Exhibiting in major national and international exhibitions, including several editions of the Venice Biennale, Cassinari has developed an instantly recognizable style of painting throughout his career, combining expressive power, chromatic sensitivity, and a constant exploration of form.
