Giuseppe Santomaso (Venice 1907-1990) Trained in Venice in contact with the avant-garde environment gravitating around the Bevilacqua foundation. In 1932, La Masa enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts where he then taught (1954-74); in 1937 he stayed in Amsterdam and Paris. Among the promoters, in 1946, of the New Front of the Arts, in 1952 he was among the eight painters presented by L. Venturi as the group with an abstract-concrete tendency. He participated in numerous international exhibitions, obtaining important recognition. After a debut with a neo-Cubist tone (The Wall of Lizards, 1956, Berlin, Nationalgalerie), he turned to abstract solutions of a gestural nature (Fermento, 1962, Saarbrücken, Saarland Museum) which in his most recent works dissolve into large and clear surfaces (Gray Space, 1982, private collection). Feltrinelli Prize of the Accademia dei Lincei for painting (1983).
