Claudio Verna

Claudio Verna (1913-1978) was an Italian painter and sculptor associated with the Arte Informale movement. He was born in Turin, Italy, and studied at the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti in Turin.

Verna's work is characterized by its gestural brushwork and its emphasis on the material qualities of paint and other media. He was particularly interested in the expressive potential of color, and his paintings often feature bold, vivid hues.

In addition to painting, Verna also worked in sculpture, using a variety of materials including wood, metal, and found objects. His sculptural work often explored the tension between form and space, and he was particularly interested in the relationship between the human body and its environment.
