Bruno Munari
24.10.1907 - 30.09.1998
Italy
Bruno Munari was an Italian painter, sculptor, graphic artist, designer, theorist, and educator.
He was called the orchestra man: Munari drew, illustrated, sculpted, photographed, designed advertisements, furniture and toys, wrote books, taught, made movies. Pablo Picasso called him the "new Leonardo."
As an inventor, Munari laid the foundations for many new kinds of visual art. For example, it was he who invented the suspended structures-mobiles that respond to the slightest fluctuations in the air, "useless machines" that are designed to distract the viewer from the everyday hustle and bustle.
