GIUSEPPE CAPOGROSSI

Giuseppe Capogrossi (Rome 1900 – Rome 1972).
His first abstractions date back to the post-war period and in 1949 they already expressed a well-articulated personal vocabulary of a post-Cubist matrix that formalised a sign language of comb-shaped matrices articulated with logic and freedom in his compositions and that brought him closer to Informalism. In 1951 with Mario Ballocco, Alberto Burri and Ettore Colla he founded the Gruppo Origine, with the intention of promoting the ideals of abstraction, including a simplification of expression.
