His works are consistent with the abstract style, very rich in bright colors, with crossed bands and grids. His style is very close to the movement defined by Clement Greenberg as “Post-Pictorial Abstraction.” Piero Dorazio (Rome, June 29, 1927 - Perugia, May 17, 2005) with his painting contributed from 1945 to the establishment of abstractionism in Italy. He studied architecture for four years and in 1944, met the abstractionist current in the capital and began a series of collaborations with its protagonists. From 1945 he participated as a leading exponent in the activity of the Arte Sociale group. In 1947 he was among the signatories of the manifesto of Gruppo Forma 1, together with Attardi, Consagra, Turcato and Accardi. With Perilli and Guerrini in 1950 he opens in Rome, the bookstore-gallery “L'Age d'Or,” which in 1951 will merge with the “Origine” group of Ballocco, Burri, Capogrossi, Colla, giving birth to the “Origine Foundation,” in which Colla and Dorazio publish the magazine “Visual Arts.” In 1953 he settled in New York and came into contact with painters Willem De Kooning, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, Robert Motherwell and art critic Clement Greenberg. He then returned to Italy where he continued exhibition activities with solo works in different cities such as Milan, Venice and Rome.
