Biography

Cassinari was born in Piacenza. He attended the local art school but eventually decided to move to Milan, where he studied painting at the Brera Academy under Aldo Carpi. In 1946, he helped found the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, an association aiming to restore optimism to post-war Italian art. Other members were Renato Birolli, Renato Guttuso, Ennio Morlotti, Leoncillo Leonardi, and Alberto Viani.[1]

In 1949, Cassinari was invited by Pablo Picasso to exhibit his work at the Antibes Museum of Art. In 1952 he won the Grand Prize for Painting at the 26th Venice Biennale with his Cubist-inspired paintings The Lemon and Still Life in Pink. In the 1960s Cassinari briefly relocated to Venice. In 1986 he was recognized for his contributions to Italian painting with a large-scale retrospective of his work in Milan. Cassinari died in Milan on March 26, 1992, about one year after the death of his wife, Enrica.
