Inspiration - Fornasetti


Piero Fornasetti (1913-1988) is often described as a visionary. A Milan artist, Fornasetti was at the same time a painter, sculptor, designer, craftsman, and an engraver of art books. Drawing on a mix of Italian cultural tradition and surrealist invention, his idea were expressed on every conceivable support, from glasses and plates to umbrellas, lamps. furniture, and screens. The result is a very unusual and highly poetic body of work.
