Biography 
Painter, born April 18, 1889 in Gradisca, died February 18, 1958 in Turin. He attended courses at the Royal Schools in Gorizia. In 1914 he was enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian army; he later deserted and reached Italy (1919). He taught drawing in the middle schools of Idria. In 1923 he gave up teaching to devote himself entirely to art. In Gorizia he frequented musicians, poets and avant-garde painters. In 1928 he moved to Turin. He met the painters of the "Six" group and approached the "Selvaggio" group (Mucci, Zeglio, I. Cremona). In 1932 he exhibited in Paris with F. Menzio, E. Paulucci and C. Levi. In 1939 he held a solo exhibition in Paris at Galerie Albert. 
Endowed with a pungent drawing instinct and a lively sense of color, he painted, until about 1955, in terms of a nervously abbreviated post-impressionism, vitalized by a restless expressionist charge.
