Mino Maccari  (Siena, 1898 – Rome, 1989)

Mino Maccari was a popular Italian painter and engraver with a caustic personality, called in 1924 by Angiolo Bencini to collaborate as illustrator for the magazine Il Selvaggio , an admittedly intransigent fascist, revolutionary and anti-bourgeois magazine. Here Maccari  published his first engravings. and after he took over the direction of the Savage which he held until 1942.

 In 1959, he became the director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome; in 1963, he won Antonio Feltrinelli's prize for painting and became president of the San Luca Academy in 1962 . In the same year of one of the biggest Italian accademic honour, Maccari managed to obtain a personal exhibition at Gallery 63 in New York.

His production of drawings, watercolors, tempera, lithographs etc. is exhausted, sometimes in collaboration with prestigious publishing houses ( Strapaese, Il selvaggio ), of satirical, political or erotic subject matters.
