The work of Emilio Vedova, born in Venice in 1919, has always fused political critique and artistic engagement. From his early days as a participant in the Resistance of the 1940s and a signer of the manifesto "Oltre Guernica, "Vedova has never stopped working, protesting and challenging himself. He began with his own artistic education: he is essentially self-taught, and has not shied away from continuing to experiment with new techniques and formats. Best known for painting--for which he was awarded the Venice Biennale's Grand Prize in 1960--he has also designed costumes and moving light sets for the opera and made large-scale glass engravings and light collages. "Emilio Vedova" documents a selection of his work from the 1950s to today.
