Mimmo Rotella, born Domenico Rotella, was an Italian artist of Calabrian origins and a protagonist of the art of the second half of the 20th century, linked to the Nouveau Réalisme movement and international Pop Art.
The artist becomes particularly known for the use of torn advertising posters transformed into works of art.
In fact, he immediately became famous for the décollages, a technique he experimented with for the first time in Rome when, walking through the city, he saw the detached and torn posters and took them to his studio, transforming them.
In 1953, Rotella realized that painting was no longer of great interest to him and approached the concept of advertising poster conceived as an artistic expression.
Rotella thus became part of the Nouveau Réalisme.
