Biography
Born in Mazara del Vallo, Pietro Consagra was one of the most prestigious figures of Italian Abstract Art. After finishing courses at the Accademia di Palermo in 1944, he moved to Rome, and joined the Abstraction movement, participating in the ‘Forma 1′ group. The artist synthesized his personal poetics thus: “Expressing the dramatic rhythm of life today with plastic elements which ought to be the formal synthesis of man’s actions, in contact with the mechanics of this society, where will, strength, optimism, simplicity and clarity are needed.”

Consagra’s sculpture presents itself as one of understood ideas, according to his declared program, to “Expressing the dramatic rhythm of life today with plastic elements which ought to be the formal synthesis of man’s actions, in contact with the mechanics of this society, where will, strength, optimism, simplicity and clarity are needed.” Pietro Consagra died on Saturday July 16, 2005 in Milan, the city where he’d been living for 10 years, at 85.
