Luigi Veronesi (1908-1998), Milanese, central figure of Italian abstract art. He lives, in the Milanese city, the creative ferment of the thirties, first entering with figurative photographic works in the Galleria del Milione, a decisive center for the cultural artistic and promotional aspects of the artists most promising of that era. He then arrives at abstraction in the early thirties, joining the 1935 "Mostra collettiva d'arte astratta" in Turin at the laboratories of Felice Casorati and Enciro Paolucci. Already in 1934 he joined the Parisian group Abstraction-Creation, actively engaging with the German Bauhaus. From the forties he undertakes experimentation with filmic technique by creating as many as six abstract films, of which today only some fragments remain unprojectable. The experimentation continues in the following years; the last abstract film is from 1980. A versatile artist, he also explored music and screenwriting, and his painting activity continued until his death in Milan in 1998.
