Vasco Bendini (27 February 1922 – 31 January 2015) was an Italian informalist painter.

Life and career

Born in Bologna, Bendini studied at the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts, under Giorgio Morandi and Virgilio Guidi.[1] In 1956 he participated in the XXVIII Venice Biennale, followed by a solo room in the 1964 edition and in the 1972 edition.[1]

After a period close to informalism, especially to the "last naturalism" theorized by Francesco Arcangeli [it], Bendini went through Neo Dada, Arte Povera and conceptual phases, but, then from the 1970s on he returned to working in Informalism.[2]
