Printmaking

Piero Fornasetti was an Italian artist and designer reputed for his eccentric functional objects. He was known to combine many styles, periods and contrasting themes to create immersive spaces. His collaborations with Gio Ponti in the 1940s gained him a reputation for his striking graphic works, which found their way into his visual vernacular throughout his lifetime.
