Beppe Devalle (1940-2013)

Later he himself taught form theory and painting at the Accademia di Brera in Mailand. His oeuvre presents paintings, drawings, illustrations and photomontage among others. Devalle was temporarily influenced by Paul Klee and later by the US-American pop art. He illustrated among others the 'The Catcher in the Rye' written by Salinger and in the 1960s Devalle created large scale geometrical compositions until he dedicated himself to portraits and still lifes.
