 Massimo Campigli was an Italian painter and printmaker, born Max Ihlenfeld in Berlin, Germany in 1895. He spent most of his childhood in Florence and later moved to Milan, where he became acquainted with Futurist circles. Campigli's artistic style was influenced by various movements, including Futurism, Purism, and Metaphysical painting, as well as ancient art forms like Etruscan and Egyptian art. Born in Berlin, Campigli moved to Florence and later Milan, where he interacted with avant-garde artists and writers. His work features geometric forms, monumental figures, and a mix of modern and ancient influences. He often depicted women engaged in domestic tasks or agricultural labor. Campigli's unique blend of modern and ancient influences has made him a prominent figure in 20th-century Italian art. He passed away in 1971 in Saint-Tropez, France.
