Italian painter. In 1970 he began studying architecture in Rome, establishing a studio where he made drawings, many based on childhood memories and dreams. His interest in the art, folklore and mysticism of India began with yearly visits from 1973. Clemente came to prominence in the mid-1970s with his intensely subjective, erotic imagery of frequently mutilated body parts, skewed self-portraits and gesturing, ambivalent figures, often depicted in rich colours. (MoMa). Small company`s stamp on inside cover, else a fine copy.
