Piero Dorazio

In the 1960s, he produced his first compositions consisting of coloured bands. The artist mostly used pure primary colours in these works, layered on top of each other or as colour stains, rhythmised in lineal grids. Dorazio, who also penned many programmatic writings, belongs to the leading representatives of concrete art in Italy. In 1959 and 1964, he took part in documenta in Kassel. As well as works on canvas, he has also produced lithographs, etchings (including numerous book illustrations), glass windows, mosaics, ceramics and stage sets.
