Ennio Finzi (Venice, 1931), among the most important Italian abstract artists, debuted in 1947 at the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in Venice where in 1956 and 1958 he realized two important solo exhibitions introduced in the catalog by Toni Toniato and Umbro Apollonio. In 1957 he exhibited at Galleria Schneider in Rome (introduced by Virgilio Guidi) and at the Numero in Florence, while in 1958 at the Apollinaire in Milan (with a critical text by Giuseppe Marchiori) he presented the latest research on the theme of “light rhythms–vibration” that interested Lucio Fontana. Also in the fifties he exhibited in group shows on Spatialism at the Cavallino Gallery of Carlo Cardazzo. He participated by invitation in the Quadriennale of 1959 and again in the 2000 edition. In 1986 he also took part in the Venice International Art Biennale.

Considered among the Italian precursors in the field of kinetism and programmed art, since the fifties he has developed his research within pure visuality. The rigorous structuring of his painterly language, developed throughout the sixties and seventies, was theoretically supported by Umbro Apollonio and Carlo Belloli. He later elaborates a research grounded again in color, contributing to the definition of a new line of abstraction that from the eighties endures to the present day. He has also produced works on paper, projects on structured visuality, and pastel works with collage on cardboard since the fifties.
