Biography of Mario Radice
Mario Radice is born in Como in 1898. His painting, abstract, is constructed according to a precise geometry, based on a dynamic relationship between colors that determine new rhythms and "lyrical" vibrations. Mario Radice realizes large geometric shapes in a palette of warm colors, creating a serene and harmonious pictorial atmosphere. He belongs to the group "Abstracts of Come” (with Manlio Rho, Aldo Galli and Carla Badiali) representing a sort of Italian abstraction avant-garde, he is the most influential and most active member, gaining little by little a predominant and historical role in the first simmering of Italian abstract painting. Working in contact with rationalist architects, Mario Radice has been among the first Italian artists of the twentieth century to free forms. Mario Radice reaches an international fame by creating between 1933 and 1936, frescoes (now lost) inside the famous "Casa del fascio" in Come, House-masterpiece of architect Giuseppe Terragni.
