Biographical Notes

 

1907
"Suddenly, without anyone having warned me, I found myself completely naked in the city of Milan, on 24 October 1907". Some years later the family moved to the Polesine district to the south of Venice where the artist passed his childhood. "At six years old I was deported to Badia Polesine, a beautiful agricultural town where silk worms and sugar beet were cultivated. On the town square, wholly of pink marble, you walked barefoot on summer evenings."

1926
After having moved back to Milan, Munari immediately came into contact with various exponents of the Futurist movement (the poet Lescovich [Escodamé], Depero, Prampolini, Marinetti, Buzzi, and others) and, together with Aligi Sassu, he was attracted by the theories of Boccioni.

1927
He began to exhibit his works in Futurist group shows in Italy and Europe. "We were then the Lombardy Futurist group, aero-painting, aero-sculpture, radio-painting plastics multimedia, useless machines, we sent them to all the shows in Italy, France, throughout the world".

1928
With Aligi Sassu he signed the "Dinamismo e pittura muscolare" manifesto (Dynamism and Muscular Painting), celebrating with Futurist passion the creation of a "completely new and original mechanical, animal, and vegetable world".

1929
He began to work in the field of advertising and graphics. He contributed to the foundation of the Gruppo Lombardo Radio-Futurista (Lombardy Radio-Futurist Group) which made its collective debut in Varese. With a large number of works he took part in the group show Trentatré Futuristi at the Galleria Pesaro in Milan. In the catalogue Marinetti mentioned Munari: "The group of Milanese Futurist painters, led by the very young and very gifted Bruno Munari, presents itself in all its efficiency".
With Severini, Russolo, Depero, Balla, Prampolini and others, he took part in the show Peintres Futuristes Italiens at the Galerie 23 in Paris. He designed sets and costumes for Il suggeritore nudo by Marinetti at the Teatro degli Independenti in Rome.


1930
He created the Macchina Aerea (Aerial Machine) and began to plan his Macchine Inutili (Useless Machines). He took part in the 17th Venice Biennale. With Ricas (Riccardo Castagnedi) he opened the Studio R+M graphic design studio. He designed advertisements, booklets, posters, fair booths, and began to collaborate with such magazines as "La Lettura", "Natura", "L’Ufficio Moderno", "L’Ala d’Italia", "L’Almanacco letterario Bompiani". With 16 works, he took part in the group show Mostra Futurista Arch. Sant'Elia e 22 pittori futuristi at the Galleria Pesaro in Milan.

1931
He took part in the 1st Quadriennale in Rome. Together with Andreoni, Duse, Manzoni, Gambini, and Bot he signed the Manifesto della aeropittura dei futuristi milanesi in which it was stated that "artistic creation must be a precise and complete whole with and from which to explore the infinite chromatic atmospheres that surround the plastic totality, definable as an aerial island in which all the laws of nature have to be abolished".

1932
He took part in the group show Enrico Prampolini et les aereopentres futuristes italiens at the Galerie de la Renaissance in Paris. He took part in the 18th Venice Biennale. With 27 drawings he illustrated Il Cantastorie di Campari, an advertising booklet.

1933
The Studio R+M began a collaboration with the Studio Boggeri in Milan. He took part in the group show Omaggio futurista a Umberto Boccioni at the Galleria Pesaro in Milan. For such magazines as "L’Ala d’Italia", "Natura", "La Lettura", and "L’Almanacco letterario Bompiani" he created photo-montages and photo-collages; with his photograms he participated in the exhibition of Futurist photography organised in Rome by F. T. Marinetti. He exhibited his first Macchine Inutili at the Galleria delle Tre Arti in Milan.

1934
Together with Manzoni, Furlan, Ricas, and Regina, Munari signed the Manifesto tecnico dell’aeroplastica futurista in which it was stated that, in order to create a new art, it was necessary to have "the euphoria of space and of volumes of air, the Aesthetics and rhythm of the dematerialisation of material, a mechanical sense in its purest state (machines = art), that is the invention of useless machines". He continued to exhibit his Macchine Inutili in Futurist shows, attracting the attention of Depero and Marinetti. He took part in the 19th Venice Biennale. He illustrated L’anguria lirica (Lungo poema passionale) by Tullio d’Albisola. He bought the only picture to be sold in the first show in Italy by Kandinsky, held at the Galleria del Milione in Milan.

He exhibited the Macchine Inutili and Concavo-Convesso in his solo show at the Galleria Borromini in Milan, with a catalogue presentation by Dino Buzzati: "He is the only painter, I believe, in Italy and abroad who can make a performance out of an exhibition. I mean to say that Munari, among abstract painters, is the only one who makes even his own painting move". He began his series of paintings titled Negativo-positivo (Negative-Positive) in which the distinction between the figure and the background was annulled to create a sense of perceptive instability. "We are dealing with a line that draws from both parts and not as happened before by outlining only one part".

1949

He held a show of his Libri Illeggibili (Illegible Books) at the Salto bookshop in Milan, with a presentation by Arnaldo Alberto Mondadori: "These 'Illegible Books' are the first examples of a new language that is closely related to cinema and music and, I believe, could one day become a 'genre', just like today with the 'Useless Machines' side by side with sculpture". These books were conceived of as unique pieces and, without the use of words, they told stories through the means of images, coloured lines, pages that were cut, folded or transparent, and with cotton threads and other insertions. He designed a Macchina Inutile twelve metres high for the Motta pavilion at the Milan trade fair.
