Emilio Giuseppe Dossena (December 10, 1903 – March 23, 1987) was an Italian painter who was born in Cavenago d'Adda, Italy and died in Milan, Italy. He was also known simply as Giuseppe Dossena. He attended the Brera Academy (Milan) and the ''Scuola del Castello'' (Milan), where he formed strong friendships with Aligi Sassu, Ernesto Treccani, Guttuso, Domenico Cantatore and Umberto Lilloni. At the ''Scuola del Castello'' he won a prize for his sculpture works (a trip to Venice), but his attraction toward color made him choose painting as the medium of artistic communication.

In the residences of Pirelli, Falck, Borletti, I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
