Walter Fusi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Fusi (born August 3, 1924 in Colle di Val d'Elsa ; † May 15, 2013 ibid) was an Italian painter .

He was born in 1924 to Tuscan parents in Udine . After completing his studies at the Academia di Belle Arti in Florence , he joined the then avant-garde , the informal movement in Italy. In 1963 it broke. In the following years, Fusi said goodbye to informal content and returned to geometric abstraction. From 1965 to the mid-1970s he learned - based on Op Art - how to implement three-dimensional objects on canvas. This form of concrete art earned him various national and international art prizes.

In 1979 Fusi moved to Florence. Since then, his pictures have been shaped by the symbiosis of his two previous work phases. In his painting today, he combines the instinctive elements of informal movement with the formal language of geometric abstraction. The results are works of intense color, combined with the typical content-related connection of signs, gestures and geometric shapes.
