Biography: Dottori
(b Perugia, 11 Nov 1884; d Perugia, 13 June 1977). Italian painter. He was born into a family of modest economic means and received his first lessons in drawing in the workshop of a Perugian antiquarian. From 1904 to 1912 he studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Perugia, supporting himself by working as a mural painter. On completing his studies he aligned himself with FUTURISM and stimulated the dull and provincial artistic atmosphere of Perugia by founding a group and a journal entitled La Griffa . Even before completing his studies he produced dynamic paintings of movement, such as Explosion of Red on Green (1910; London, Tate), a virtually abstract work. He participated in the first Mostra Internazionale Futurista Exhibition in Rome, alongside Balla, Fortunato Depero and Enrico Prampolini, and his first one-man show (Rome, Gal. A. Bragaglia, 1920) was opened by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.
