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