Ennio Finzi, an artist who recently passed away, is considered a spatialist painter, but as he recalls himself, in 1947 he was only 16 years old and could not be enrolled in the Spatialism artistic movement as Tancredi Parmeggiani (1927 - 1964) was, who at the time was twenty years old[1].
From 1960 to 1978, also due to problems related to the difficulty of selling spatialist works in a historical moment that favored other kinds of research[1], he decides to fully embrace the most contemporary principles of scientific and technological analysis typical of those years, not at all like the artists of the Gruppo N who actually used electronics and lighting technology[5], but trying to create the same premises with a Non-Painting of an analytical type in black and white that moved away from the strong chromatisms of previous, focusing on automatism and the combination of rhythms[6] approaching more and more to Cinetism[1]
