Luigi Veronesi (1908-1998), Milanese, a central figure of Italian abstraction. He lived in the city of Milan the creative ferment of the thirties, first entering with figurative photographic works the Gallery of the Milione, a decisive center for the cultural, artistic, and promotional aspects of the most promising artists of those years. He thus moved toward abstraction in the early thirties, joining the 1935 "Mostra collettiva d'arte astratta" in Turin at the laboratories of Felice Casorati and Enrico Paolucci. As early as 1934 he joined the Paris group Abstraction-Creation, actively engaging with German Bauhaus. From the forties he ventured into experimenting with film technique, creating as many as 6 abstract films, of which today only some fragments remain unprojectable. The experimentation continued in the following years; the last abstract film is from 1980. A versatile artist, he was also interested in music and screenwriting; his painting activity continued until his death in Milan in 1998.
