Mario Nigro
Mario Nigro was an Italian painter, draughtsman and printmaker who is considered one of the most important representatives of postwar geometric abstraction in Italy.
In the 1940s, he studied chemistry and pharmacology at the University of Pisa and simultaneously studied music and painting. In the 1950s Mario Nigro decided to devote himself entirely to painting and sought quasi-musical dynamics in his abstractions.
