Ettore Sordini Biography

Ettore Sordini (Milan, 1934 - Fossombrone, 2012) Ettore Sordini was an Italian painter. He studied at the Brera Academy under the guidance of Malerba and drew and sculpted until the 1950s. He met Crippa, Peverelli, Fontana, becoming their friend. In 1954 he was invited to participate in the Milan Triennale, where he collaborated on the arrangement of the Sempione Park. Sordini developed in that period a pictorial language similar to that of Piero Manzoni, so much so that he exhibited with him and Angelo Verga at the Castello Sforzesco in Soncino in 1956. In 1957 the collective exhibition of Sordini, Manzoni and Verga was presented by Lucio Fontana himself at the Gallery Pater of Milan. In his early works we can already see a certain interest in the sign, subtle and sparse, but sinuous and in delicate tones.
