Synopsis

The book includes a selection of the sketches that Lanfranco Bombelli drafted, first in Paris and later in Barcelona, for the graphics of the exhibitions in the American Trade Centers in Milan, Stockholm, Paris and Frankfurt, from 1963 to 1978, until they were closed, as a continuation of what the Marshall Plan had been. His artistry in geometrical compositions is based on a minimum of plastic means and inspired by mathematical principles. He depicts in this way new products of technological innovation in the fields of pharmaceutics, design industry or printing among others.

À propos de l?auteur

Lanfranco Bombelli (Milan, 1921-Cadaqués, 2008) was an architect, artist and art gallery owner. After having studied architecture in Milan and Zurich, Bombelli was formally trained as an artist with the pioneers of concrete art, and with the artists Bruno Munari, Max Huber and Max Bill. In 1950 he started working with Peter Harnden in Paris as a commercial pavilion architect for the US Government. At the beginning of the 60s, they chose Barcelona and Cadaqués as their headquarters from where they directed their architecture office. Thanks to Bombelli, founder of the Galeria Cadaqués, international avantgarde artists such as Max Bill, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Richard Hamilton, Joseph Beuys... first came into Catalonia and Spain. In the 70 s, with his strong international relations, and his cultural, cosmopolitan character, he became an outstanding figure in the promotion of the new commercial and institutional contemporary art circuit.
