Cesare Peverelli was born in Milan in 1922. He studied at the Brera Academy (Milan) and joined the Corrente group. The artist began exhibiting in 1941 and accordingly participated in a very numerous group exhibition (Venice Biennale, Rome Quadrennial, Salon of May, etc.). In 1946, a fierce opponent of the fascist regime, Peverelli was a signatory of the manifesto Oltre Guernica. In 1951 he joined the Spatial Group (Lucio Fontana, Roberto Crippa, Gianni Dova, Beniamino Joppolo, Antonino Tullier, etc.) and signed the fourth and fifth manifestos. He settled in Paris in 1957, came into contact with painters such as Roberto Matta, Bernard Saby, Enrique Zanartu and met writers. In 1967 he participated in the exhibition "Signs of a surrealist revival" organized in Brussels by Patrick Waldberg.

One can detect in his work early references to Bacon or Sutherland after various experiments concerning Picasso's neo-figuration, and especially that of Giacometti. Peverelli, who discovered the works of Otto Wols and Pollock, practiced gesture automatism for a while in the early 1950s. The artist is then readily associated with Surrealism.

The Museum of Modern Art in the city of Paris in 1976 offered him more rooms to exhibit his works. Cesare Peverelli dies in 2000 in Seillans (Var, France).
