Cortese

Cortese was born in 1949 in Giovinazzo, Italy. He received his diploma from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bari. He created sets for many theatrical companies. His works are in many museums in Italy; as well as in The National Art Gallery of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and at the MACLA in La Plata, Argentina.

He is best known for his sculptures and wall relief, which make a kind of plastic melody . A frequent element of his sculptures is a plumb line, or lines: pieces suspended in various manners.

MADI is a great artistic adventure, and perhaps, the only existing movement which can justify half a century of existence. MADI is more than an avant-garde movement; it has an underlying wave with several and differing offspring. It is the slow-paced growth of a tectonic plate in the history of art. Indeed, since art and environment are perveived as the fusion of two cultural phenomena, the progression and expression of both of these blend in everyday life.
