Mario Schifano
He was born in Homs, once a city of the Italian Libya, where his father was an employee of the Ministry of Education.
Versatile artist, more than a painter, he was also a director, actor and rock musician. Exuberant and prolific, he was called a cursed artist due to his addiction to drugs.
At the end of the 1950s he took part in the artistic movement of the School of Piazza del Popolo together with Franco Angeli and Tano Festa; the group of artists used to meet in a well-known bar in Rome, the Caffè Rosati located in Piazza del Popolo. Some of the intellectuals who spend time in this place are the writers Pasolini, Moravia and the director Fellini.
His first personal exhibition was held at the Galleria Appia Antica in Rome in 1959. Since then Schifano has stood out in the world cultural scene thanks to an intense artistic production.
In Rome the group exhibited in the 1960s at the La Salita Gallery and the following year Schifano exhibited alone at the La Tartaruga Gallery.
On his first trip to New York he met Andy Warhol, attended his Factory and participated actively in the events promoted by the New American Cinema Group.
Following this journey, he was invited to participate in the New Realists exhibition together with Roy Lichtenstein, Warhole and other emerging artists of Pop Art and New Realism.
Returning from New York, he participated in exhibitions in Paris, Milan and Rome; it was hosted at the XXXII International Art Exhibition in 1964. The paintings Anemic Landscapes and the first 16 mm films Round Trip and Reflex are from this period and because of them he distinguished himself as a prominent figure in Italian experimental cinema.
In Rome, he met the poet Ungaretti, the director Ferreri and Ettore Rosboch with whom he shared his passion for music; the two friends often went to London, where they met the Rolling Stones. Their Monkey Man piece of 1969 was dedicated to Schifano.
After taking part in the Biennale of San Marino and San Paolo in Brazil in 1965, he devoted himself to cinema, collaborating with Marco Ferreri for L’Harem in 1967. Thanks to Ferreri, Schifano produced the Trilogia per un massacre composed from the three feature films Satellite (1968), Umano non umano (1969), and Trapianto, Consunzione, Morte di Franco Brocani (1969).
Achille Bonito Oliva, in the Vitality of the negative in Italian art 1960/70 exhibition of 1971, displayed some paintings by Schifano. Influenced by North American artists such as Jasper Johns he used numbers and letters as individual elements in his works.
Mario Schifano was also well known for the Propagande series, dedicated to the Coca-Cola and Esso brands; ; i Paesaggi anemici, le Vedute interrotte, L’albero della vita e i Campi di grano are clear examples of Pop Art.
The passion for photography encouraged him to create mixed works, emulsified canvases, photographic images on which he intervened with painting in a non-invasive way.
Schifano was a pioneer in the use of technology for his artistic production; he was among the first ones to use the computer, processing the images on emulsified canvases (computerized canvases).
A very prolific author of apparently simple works, he is always been targeting by counterfeiters, especially after his death from a heart attack at the age of 64.
