FRANCO Francesco
Mondovì (CN), 1924
Etcher. Student of Casorati, Boglione and Calandri at the Accademia Albertina, in 1957 he became assistant to the latter and took over his post up to 1988. His first etchings date back to 1953. With a few representational exceptions, his work follows highly disciplined studies and goes from concrete art to approach a lyrical abstract style with Art Informel overtones. Present at numerous Italian and international shows.
