NEW YORK, USA — A select art collection by the precursor and theorist of Artificial Intelligence, Italian painter Ruffo Caselli (1932 to 2020), is being successfully exhibited in Milano, sponsored by Azimut Capital Management, in its prestigious headquarters in Via Foro Bonaparte 24. A reception followed the opening, featuring typical Milanese dishes.
The exhibition, titled Return of Ruffo Caselli in Milano, was under the direction of Dr. Francesco Giuffrida and Dr. Antonella Mauro of Azimut.
Spanning four decades, the canvasses were initially shown in the most prominent galleries of Milan, Italy, where the Artist lived and worked. In Milano, in the fifties and sixties, he was a friend and student of the famous Italian painter Lucio Fontana, the founder of Spatialism.
For half a century, Ruffo’s canvasses were inspired by technological innovations, integrated circuits, microchips, and robotics, anticipating the reality we are witnessing now.
Ruffo is remembered for his elegant robots with human feelings. A spiritual explorer, he was a visionary-remote viewer, poet, and sophisticated painter with a great sense of humor. His work conveys merging technologies seen through the eye of a sophisticated painter, and it is praised worldwide. Since the seventies of the last century, he has been considered the original innovator in top galleries and Museums.
Since the early eighties, his canvasses have been presented worldwide by the Center for the Multidisciplinary Study of Cybernetic Existentialism of New York, in Cultural Centers and Museums in North and South America and Europe that consecrated the Artist as the Father of Cybernetic Existentialism, the title is still used today in art as synonymous with Artificial Intelligence.
