About Umberto Pettinicchio
Umberto Pettinicchio was born in a town called Torremaggiore, Italy. Later, he moved to Milan, a big city in Italy.
In Milan, he studied art at a famous school called the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. He had his very first art show in 1969. This was an exciting time for him to share his work with the world.
His Art Style
When Umberto Pettinicchio first started painting, his art was in the expressionist style. This means his paintings showed strong feelings and emotions, often using bold colors and shapes.
Over time, his art changed and became more abstract. Abstract art does not try to show things exactly as they look in real life. Instead, it uses shapes, colors, and lines to create a feeling or idea.
One of his important paintings is called The Death of the Bull, which he created in 1981. This painting is now kept in a museum in Spain, the Museo de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo de Santander y Cantabria.
