Sergio Dangelo (19 April 1932 – 4 January 2022) was an Italian surrealistic painter and illustrator. He was the founder of the Arte nucleare movement, part of the nuclear art tendency, and was a co-founder of the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus.
Life and career
[edit | edit source]Born in Milan, Dangelo made his studies between Italy, France and Switzerland, and lived for several years in Brussels, where he got in contact with surrealist and avant-garde circles, notably the COBRA group.[1] Back in his hometown, in 1951 Dangelo founded with Enrico Baj the Arte nucleare movement, and held his first solo exhibition at the Galleria San Fedele in Milan.[2] In 1953 he founded with Baj and Asger Jorn the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus[3] and in 1954 he founded with them and organized in Albisola the Incontri Internazionali della Ceramica (International Meetings of Ceramics).[1][2][4]
Besides his "nuclear paintings", Dangelo is well known for the “Hand-made” (a name given to them by Marcel Duchamp in 1960), i.e. a series of collage paintings composed of fragments of various objects and materials.[1] His works were exposed in numerous art festivals, including the São Paulo Art Biennial, the Biennale de Paris, the Rome Quadriennale and six editions of the Venice Biennale.[1]
Dangelo died in Milan on 4 January 2022, at the age of 89.[1]
