EDOARDA DADAMAINO - Biography
Edoarda Maino, better known as Dadamaino, was born on October 2, 1930, in Milan, Italy, and died on April 4, 2004. She was a prominent artist in the post-World War II Italian contemporary art scene.
Dadamaino began her artistic career in the 1950s, becoming part of the informal art movement and developing a style characterized by continuous research and experimentation. She is best known for her series of works entitled "Volumes," created in the late 1950s and early 1960s. These works, characterized by monochromatic canvases with cuts and holes, recall the work of Lucio Fontana and focus attention on the spatial dimension and the concept of emptiness.
In the 1960s, Dadamaino became involved in the kinetic and programmed art movement, joining the Nuova Tendenza group and participating in numerous international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale and Documenta in Kassel. His works from this period focus on geometric modules and sequential variations, exploring visual perception and movement.
In the 1970s and 1980s, he continued to innovate his artistic language, working on series such as "The Movement of Things" and "Alphabet of the Mind," in which he uses repetitive and modular signs to explore themes related to communication and the structure of language.
