Domenico Cantatore

Domenico Cantatore (Ruvo di Puglia 16 March 1906 – Paris 22 May 1998) was an Italian painter, mosaic artist and illustrator.

In Milan he befriended the art critic Raffaele Carrieri and collector Margherita Sarfatti.

The next year, Edoardo Persico helped him organising an exhibition, mostly made of drawings, at the Brera Academy.

He also joined the Novecento Italiano movement together with Giuseppe Migneco, Aligi Sassu, and Bruno Cassinari, although he was somewhat resistant to embrace the group's politics.

In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Painting at the Brera Academy, where, among his students, were artists like Natale Addamiano, Sabino Gesmundo and Paola Grott.
