Pietro Consagra (1920 - 2005)

Pietro Consagra

Pietro Consagra was an Italian sculptor and one of the leading figures in the post-war Italian art movement known as Arte Informale or Forma 1.

Pietro Consagra's early work was influenced by traditional figurative sculpture, but he soon became fascinated by the abstract art movement. He rejected the idea of creating sculptures that imitated reality and instead focused on exploring the relationship between form, space and the viewer's perception.

Consagra's sculptures often feature simplified geometric forms, emphasising clean lines and solid volumes. His works are characterised by a sense of balance, harmony and spatial tension.
