Afro Basaldella (1912-1976):  He was an Italian painter, considered one of the most important post-war artists and one of the main exponents of the Italian informal together with Alberto Burri and Lucio Fontana, he belonged over the years thirty also at the Roman School (the same as Giorgio de Chirico and Renato Guttuso). In the early seventies Afro began to suffer from health problems. He died in 1976. The following year, Cesare Brandi published a monograph on him. In 1978 the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome paid homage to him by dedicating a large retrospective to him. In 1992 the complete work was exhibited at Palazzo Reale in Milan. The Catalog Raisonné of Afro's work was presented in November 1997 at the American Academy in Rome, and in 1998 at the Guggenheim Foundation in Venice.
