About the Artist / Group:
Gruppo d’Arte Decalage was formed by a trio of Italian painters who worked jointly for decades, developing a recognizable collaborative practice in figurative and narrative painting. Active mainly in the mid- to late-20th century
The group’s name was created from the first syllables of two member surnames—De’ Cavero and Aloisi—with the suffix “-age” added as a nod to the concept of collage and collaborative creation. Later, Nardo Girardi joined, completing the core trio.
