Giuseppe “Bepi” Santomaso (1907 – 1990) was an Italian painter and educator. Santomaso was an important figure in 20th-century Italian painting, and he taught art at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia for 20 years.
Santomaso’s early paintings were influenced by French modernism. In the 1940s, he painted Georges Braque-inspired still lifes, and abstract linear cages (or prisons). In the 1970s he shifted his focus and his renowned series Lettere a Palladio (1977; English: Letters to Palladio) featured abstract geometry influenced by architecture.
In 1934, Santomaso participated in the 19th Venice Biennale, and subsequently exhibited there often in the 1950s, including at the 27th Venice Biennale (1954).
In 1983, he was awarded the Feltrinelli Prize for painting from Accademia dei Lincei. In 1992, the Guggenheim museum featured his Lettere a Palladio series and published a related exhibition book.
Santomaso died on May 23, 1990, in Venice.
