Carlo Hauner Biography
Born in Brescia but of Bohemian origins, after some collective and personal exhibitions between Brescia and Milan, in 1948 he participated in the Venice Biennale. In the following years he moved to Brazil, dedicating himself to applied design in the textile sector, in ceramics, in furniture and in architecture. His works are exhibited at the Art Museum of Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 1956 he exhibited at the Montenapoleone Gallery in Milan and in 1965 at the Vismara Contemporary Art Gallery, also in Milan, with the artistic and family couple Enrico Ragni and Pier Carla Reghenzi. His restless and complex personality and the various experiences gained in the sectors of ceramics and industrial design lead him to research and address an original and continually evolving artistic development, verifying ever new and complex pictorial practices that combine Picasso's neo-expressionist renewal with the anarchic abstract expressionism, and then informal art and pop art. In the seventies he moved to Salina, in the Aeolian Islands, where he dedicated himself to painting and, on the hills of Malfa, created his own farm for the quality production of Malvasia delle Lipari, a traditional wine of those islands considered an excellence of viticulture Italian.
