Mario Schifano, an artist with a rebellious and edgy soul, is now considered one of the most prolific painters of the post-war period. He immediately attracted critics by creating monochrome paintings that offer the idea of a photographic screen that would later accommodate numbers, letters, road signs, and Esso and Coca Cola logos. He lived in New York where he frequented Frank O'Hara, Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol.
