A multidisciplinary artist, Mimmo Rotella worked with techniques as diverse as painting, ceramics, tapestry, drawing, graphics and photography. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and after the end of the war, in 1945, he went to Rome, where he came into contact with the avant-garde. He later moved to Paris and the United States, and on his return to Rome he turned his attention to the expressive possibilities of the advertising poster, creating a new technique called décollage. He is currently represented in museums such as the Guggenheim in New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, among many others.
