Mario Schifano, an artist with a rebellious and edgy spirit, is today considered one of the most prolific painters of the post-war period. He immediately attracted critical attention by creating monochrome paintings that offered the idea of a photographic screen which would later accommodate numbers, letters, road signs, and brands such as Esso and Coca-Cola. He lived in New York where he met Frank O'Hara, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol.
