Dario De Blanck Biography
Dario De Blanck (1945 - ) was born in Milan into a family of artists: his father, minister and ambassador of Cuba, internationally renowned writer, composer and musician; the grandfather to whom the National Museum and Conservatory of Music in Havana was dedicated. Since he was a child, under the guidance of an exceptional master Winston Churchill, he showed a notable propensity for painting and the figurative arts in general. Favorite student of Marc Chagall, in 1969 he presented his first solo exhibition at the "Bonni & Schubert" Gallery in Lugano. Having moved to Italy, to Rome, he definitively dedicated himself to the Italian public in 1971 with two important exhibitions. He met and became friends with the most important contemporary writers and artists (such as the Nobel Prize winner for Literature Saul Bellow, Joan Mirò, Francis Bacon, Sebastian Matta) from whom he obtained flattering certificates and recognition for his work. Works by Dario de Blanck are permanently exhibited at the "Metropolitan Museum" in New York, at the "Museum of Modern Western Art" in Moscow, at the "Musée d'Art Moderne" in Paris and at the "Petit Palais" in Geneva.
