Manlio Rho (1901 – 1957) was a painter born in Como, Italy. He is considered one of the most important abstract artists in Italy. ==Life and work== In the late 1920s Manlio Rho was deeply involved in Como's engagement with the European abstract movement led by Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich. Together with the architects Giuseppe Terragni, Alberto Sartoris and the painter Mario Radice, he created the ''astrattisti comaschi'', a group of artists that later included Aldo Galli, Carla Prina and Carla Badiali. This event is widely regarded by critics as a pivotal moment in the history of Italian art of the 20th century. Having worked initially in a figurative manner, he began abstract works in the early 1930s, showing a consistent preference for colour and the harmony of shapes. The art of Rho is marked by a balance between strict geometry, similar to the "cold" abstractism of Russian suprematism, and a warmth considered typically North Italian. His works comprise flat geometric shapes glowing with lukewarm colours in a palette of greens, browns and orange. In 1940 he signed the futurist manifesto ''Futuristi Primordiali Antonio Sant'Elia''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manlio Rho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
