Corrado Cagli

Corrado Cagli (1910–1976) was an Italian painter of Jewish heritage, who lived in the United States during World War II.

Together with other artists such as Giuseppe Capogrossi and Emanuele Cavalli, he formed the group "New Roman School of Painting," better known as Scuola Romana.

He enlisted in the U.S. Army and was involved in the 1944 Normandy landings, and fought in Belgium and Germany.

He was with the forces that liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp, and made a series of dramatic drawings on that subject.

From that time forward, he experimented in various abstract and non-figurative techniques (neo-metaphysical, neo-cubist, informal).
