Venice is an excellent etching on paper depicting several buildings of the city realized with different shades of grey and black. The work is very elegant and refined and has been realized by the Italian artist Giovanni Korompay.  Giovanni Korompay (Venice, 1904 - Rovereto, 1988) was an Italian painter. After being a pupil of Ettore Tito at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, in 1922 he joined Futurism by creating works of pure abstract rhythms (see "Rumore di locomotiva", 1922). After the war he tried, together with a few others, to reorganize the Futurist movement by organizing the "International Exhibition of Futurist Painting and Sculpture" which was held in Bologna in 1951. Korompay was also a sculptor: among others, his bronze monument and glass placed in 1966 in front of the Corrado Govoni school in Ferrara
