SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Piero Marussig (1879–1937), born in Trieste, received his first instruction from the decorative painter Eugenio Scomparini. Travels to Vienna, Munich, Paris and later Rome broadened his training. His first documented exhibition took place in Milan in 1906, including the self-portrait Laughing Man. He also experimented with printmaking alongside his painting.
From 1920 his work moved towards a more classical language and more clearly defined forms. In 1925 he joined the governing committee of Novecento Italiano and participated in the movement’s exhibitions. Around the beginning of the 1930s, landscape, particularly the surroundings of Lake Iseo, renewed his investigations of colour and light. In 1930 he founded an art school for children in Milan with Achille Funi and Timo Bortolotti.
