Life

Fiore took lessons from artists such as George Grosz and Hans Hofmann before studying art at the New Bauhaus in Chicago , Illinois . In the 1960s he was known for work in which z. B. Text passages and images were mixed or different fonts were used. In this way books were created that reflected the anarchic zeitgeist.

The book The Medium is the Massage was created in 1967 in collaboration with Marshall McLuhan . The book DO IT! Scenarios of the Revolution was co-created with the "revolutionary" Jerry Rubin and appeared in 1970 with an introduction by the Black Power activist Eldridge Cleaver .

Fiore lived in New Jersey, USA in early 2012 .
