In order to commemorate Mario Schifano Rome will host an exhibition entirely dedicated to this great artist who died ten years ago: Mario Schifano 1934–1998 exhibition at the GNAM.
Mario Schifano was a fiery painter who had little vocation for academic studies.
He primarily drew his inspiration from small things : a book , words read in the newspaper or a scene seen somewhere from a train-window.
Schifano’s work, his interest in technology and in reproducing images, in music and photography, and the contemplative view of the city, come together with his interest in the cinema.
