Additional Information

Artist: Giuseppe Migneco (1908-1997)

Born in Messina in 1903, after completing his classical studies in his hometown Giuseppe Migneco moved to Milan in 1931 where he began to study medicine. There he earns his living and begins his entry into the world of art by drawing sketches for the "Corriere dei Piccoli" and by retouching for the publisher Rizzoli. In this period he began his pictorial activity creating paintings with autobiographical contents. The turning point took place in 1934. Migneco comes into contact with Aligi Sassu, Renato Birolli, Raffaele De Grada from whom he is enchanted. In 1937 he was one of the founders of the "Corrente" movement which brings together artists from different cultural horizons. After the war Migneco refined his taste for "social realism" under the influence of Mexican wall painters. One of his admirers called him a “wood carver who carves with a brush”. In the fifties the fame, by now consolidated, consecrates Giuseppe Migneco among the masters of contemporary Italian art, he exhibits in the most prestigious national and foreign galleries: Gothenburg, Boston, Paris, Stuttgart, New York, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Zurich. He participates in 5 editions of the Venice International Art Exhibition and in 5 editions of the Rome Quadriennale. He died in Milan in 1997.
