Bruno Munari was born on October 24, 1907 in Milan, Italy. Originally inspired by Marinetti, Munari exhibited with the Futurists in his early career. He also worked as a graphic designer with Riccardo Castagnedi, and became associated with Louis Aragon and Andre Breton as a press graphic designer in 1933. He was editor for Mondadori and the art director of Tempo Magazine. He went on to co-found Movimento Arte Concreta, the Italian concrete art movement. In order to display his true thematic evolution as an artist, Munari put on his own solo exhibition in 1969. Bruno Munari died on September 30, 1998 at age 90.
