Gino Cantarelli's Biography:
Born January 6, 1899 in Mantua, died July 26, 1950 in Milan. Cantarelli was a self-taught artist who became involved with the Futurist movement in 1916 around the time he wrote Ascendenze cromatiche. His poems and typographical compositions were published in Futurist magazines. He later grew apart from the Futurists and joined with Tzara to create a Dadaist group in Mantua. In 1924 he returned to the Futurist movement only to abandon all literary activities shortly thereafter.
