ARTIST BIO:Piero Fornasetti(10 November 1913 - 9 October 1988) was anItalianpainter,sculptor,interior decoratorandengraver.

He lived most of life inMilan, attending theBrera Art Academyfrom 1930-32 when he was expelled for insubordination. DuringWorld War II, he went into exile inSwitzerlandfrom 1943-46. He created more than 11,000 items, many featuring the face of a woman, operatic sopranoLina Cavalieri, as a motif. Fornasetti found her face in a 19th-century magazine. “What inspired me to create more than 500 variations on the face of a woman?” asks Italian designer, Piero Fornasetti of himself. “I don’t know,” he admits, “I began to make them and I never stopped.” The “Tema e Variazioni” (theme and variation) plate series based on Cavalieri\'s face numbered more than 350.

Other common features in his work include heavy use of black and white, the sun and time. His style is reminiscent ofGreekandRoman architecture, by which he was heavily influenced.

Today it is most common to see Fornasetti\'s style in fashion and room accessories such as scarves, ties, lamps, furniture, china plates and tables.
