Giuseppe Chiari (26 September 1926 – 9 May 2007) was an avant-garde Florentine conceptual artist and experimental musician active in Neo-Dada circles, specifically the Fluxus art movement.
[3] He is an exponent and main promoter of the group of Florentine artists, operating from the end of the Second World War to today, and including Sylvano Bussotti, Daniele Lombardi, Giancarlo Cardini, Albert Mayr, Pietro Grossi, Marcello Aitiani and Sergio Maltagliati.
These musicians have experimented with the interaction among sound, sign and vision, a synaesthesia of art derived from historical avant-gardes, from Kandinsky to futurism, to Scriabin and Schoenberg, all the way to Bauhaus.
[4] He was especially drawn to the work of John Cage, and himself began to take an interest in promoting experimental research in visual music in 1961.
His graphic and pictorial work is partially preserved at the International Centre of Contemporary Art Tornabuoni in Florence.
