Description from the seller
NINO AIMONE
Turin 1932 - 2020 Chieri (TO)
Figures embraced 1961
32x47.5 mixed media on paper
Artwork signed and dated at the bottom right, titled on the back on the panel that closes the work.
With cornice and glass 48x64.5
Nino Aimone (1932-2020) attended the studio of Felice Casorati from 1951 to 1954; during those years, he was one of the founders of the magazine 'Orsa Minore.'
Until 1961, his artistic activity was influenced by his work, first as a factory worker and then as an advertising graphic designer at Fiat.
Starting from the second half of the 20th century, a small community of Turin painters formed in Cervo, all the main representatives of the national artistic scene: among the first to arrive was the artist Francesco Casorati with his father Felice and mother Daphne Maugham.
Soon after, Piero Martina, Francesco Menzio, Nicola Galante, Sergio Saroni, Romano Campagnoli, and his father Adalberto arrived; then it was the turn of the cadets Mauro Chessa and Nino Aimone.
Since 1967, he has been an assistant at the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, initially in the painting course, then in the engraving course, and finally in the decoration course.
In 1989, he obtained the chair of Decoration at the Academy of Fine Arts, first in Venice and the following year in Turin.
He debuted in 1954, subsequently participating in several major national and international exhibitions: the 28th and 29th Venice Biennale and the Quadriennale di Roma of 1965, to mention only the most important ones.
In 1995, he was commissioned for a retrospective exhibition at the Circolo degli Artisti di Torino.
Among Aimone's numerous exhibitions at the national and international levels, in addition to the Roman biennale and quadriennale, we remember:
1957/58 Budapest, Bucharest, Sofia, Warsaw, Prague
Exhibition of Young Italian Painting, Moscow
1963 Beirut - Contemporary Italian Painting

Anthology Exhibition with Catalog.
Edited by Marco Rosci and Pino Mantovani.
