Ennio Finzi (Venice, 1931), one of the most important Italian abstract artists, made his debut in 1947 at the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in Venice where in 1956 and 1958 he held 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 Numero in Florence, while in 1958 at Apollinaire in Milan (with critical text by Giuseppe Marchiori) presenting the latest researches on the theme of “light-vibration rhythms” that interested Lucio Fontana. Also in the Fifties he participated in group exhibitions on Spatialism at Carlo Cardazzo’s Galleria del Cavallino. He participated by invitation in the Quadriennale of 1959 and again in the 2000 edition. In 1986 he also took part in the Venice Biennale of International Art.

Considered among the Italian precursors in the field of kinetic art and programmed art, since the fifties he developed his research within pure visuality. The rigorous structuring of his painting language, which develops throughout the sixties and seventies, is theoretically supported by Umbro Apollonio and Carlo Belloli. He subsequently elaborated research again based on color, contributing to the definition of a new line of abstraction that from the eighties continues to the present. He also produced works on paper, projects on structured visuality, and pastel works with collage on cardboard since the fifties.
