Mario Schifano

Mario Schifano was an Italian painter and is considered to be one of the most significant and pre-eminent artists of Italian postmodernism. 

His artworks were exhibited in the famous 1962 "New Realists" show at the Sidney Janis Gallery with other young Pop art and Nouveau réalisme innovators, including Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. 

Many of his artworks, known as "monochromes" feature only one or two colors, applied on wrapping paper pasted on canvas.
