Pino daeni biography

Giuseppe D’Angelico—now better known as Pino Daeni, or simply Pino—was born in Bari, Italy, in 1939. His father was a technician at a local university, and although the family suffered hardships due to the war-torn country’s economic distress at the time, Pino found a refuge in art. He pursued his craft at Bari’s Art Institute, and at the age of 20 was admitted to the prestigious Accademia di Belle Arte di Brera in Milan. Here, he spent two years studying life drawing and painting, further developing his semi-Classical style. Specifically, he was greatly influenced by the works of the pre-Raphaelite painters and i Macchiaioli, a fraternity of mid-nineteenth century Florentine artists who strove to emphasize immediacy and freshness, a style which at that time stood in stark contrast to the dominant academic school of painting. These studies would later be augmented by Pino’s experimentation in Expressionism, eventually resulting in his signature style.
