Milano, 1908 - 1998
The artist began his activity as a graphic designer, and self taught after various personal technical experiences. In 1932 the "Galleria del Milione di Milano" holds his first personal exhibition and in the same year travels to Paris where he meets famous painters and deepens his knowledge of Impressionism and Cubism.
He becomes part of the group of Parisian abstract painters and in 1935 he meets various Bauhaus artists, amongst whom Moholy-Nagy, that influence him in his research on abstract photography (tempera painting on photographic positives, painting and photo collages).
From 1940 he enters the cinema world and thanks to his skills in using colours, he makes abstract films and leads a very active life as a stage-designer, also for the "Scala di Milano".
Veronesi in 1949 then joins MAC ("Movimento Arte Concreta") which had been instituted the year before by Dorfles, Munari, Soldati and Monnet. During the decade 1956-1966, his work departs from geometrizing construction in order to deepen the theme organics, and then later on, returns to original forms, above all to lines and circular segments. In the course of his life he exhibited in many galleries both in Italy and abroad, and numerous retrospectures exihibitions have been dedicated to him.
