After World War II, he founded the group Forma 1 alongside Carla Accardi, Ugo Attardi, Pietro Consagra, Antonio Sanfilippo [it], and Giulio Turcato. He was a master in abstractionism, as seen in his exhibitions at the Venice Biennale in 1952, 1958, 1962, and 1968.[2][3] From 1948 to 1986, he participated in the Rome Quadriennale on five separate occasions.[4] From 1963 to 1964, he participated in the touring exhibition Peintures italiennes d'aujourd'hui in Beyrouth, Damas, Teheran, Ankara and Tunis.[5] In 1995, he became a member of the Accademia di San Luca and received the award from the President of the Republic of Italy Oscar Luigi Scalfaro in 1997.[6]
