Artist Achille Perilli, one of the most prominent representatives of Italian abstract art, has died at the age of 95, ANSA agency reveals.
Perilli was one of the Form 1 Art Manifesto authors, which aimed to preserve abstract art.
As the Italian Minister of Culture, Dario Franceschini, noted, with Perilli's death, "the art world has lost a prominent master of Italian abstractionism, an artist of impossible and irrational geometry."
"His work has always reflected a dialogue with the avant-garde and has brought great recognition to 20th-century art," Franceschini said.
