About Piero fornasetti : from Annalisa P. Cignitti , Art historian, specialized in figurative painting and symbolist art
"Born in Milan in 1913, Piero Fornasetti was basically a draughtsman, a fanciful and eclectic artificer of worlds made of paper. His art was mainly focused on the house, as a micro-universe and mirror of our inner world. He started as printer: he liked to print his drawings on cloths for foulards, ties and small pieces and decorative bronze and ceramic frieze objects. His personal and unique way of decoration is lead by an unrestrained immagination ranging from his classical roots and inspirations like Piero della Francesca, Giotto, pompeian and renassaince frescoes to metaphisycal and surrealist art, up to an all italian interpretation of pop art (like using the same woman’s face for his porcelain plates with hundreds of unique variations).
Fornasetti’s style was very far from the current 1960s-1970s taste, mainly rationalist and functional, and found a friend in Gio Ponti, who had similar tastes. He met the architect and industrial designer in the early ’40 and they started a friendship and several collaborations, like ‘The Lunar’ illustrated Calendar. He also started a series of decorative frescoes like the Palazzo Bo in Padova, the interior of the San Remo Casino, interiors for the Casa Lucano and took part, with his friend, in the interior decoration of the Andrea Doria ocean liner, designing the first class areas."
