Emilio Tadini was a painter, writer and Italian poet born in Milan in 1927, and was the president of the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera from 1997 to 2000. He began his literary activities in the Politecnico magazine owned by Elio Vittorini in 1947, publishing essays, novels, poems and monologues.
In the 1950s he began his career as a painter and within a decade became one of the leaders of contemporary Italian art. He exhibited his first works in the sixties and was invited to the Venice Biennale in 1978 and 1982 and 2001 there was a retrospective of his work in Milan. Referencing Surrealism and British Pop Art, Tadini displayed his pictorial research, which was also constantly accompanied by a clear theoretical reflection, as part of the new figuration in which he developed extensive cycles; rich in literary and figurative quotations and produced with cold and exact objectivity.
