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 criticism by creating monochrome paintings that offer the idea of a photographic screen that would later host numbers, letters, road signs, and the logos of Esso and Coca Cola. He lived in New York where he frequented Frank O'Hara, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol.
