In 1930 he mounted his first solo exhibition at the Galleria d'arte moderna in Milan, exhibiting still lifes, peasant portraits reminiscent of his homeland. In 1932 he moved to Paris, where he was able to come into contact with the Impressionists, the painting of Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani and Henri Matisse. The latter would become one of his main masters, and his influence would be visible in his abandonment of somber hues that gave way to a lighter and brighter use of color.
