Blinky Palermo

1943–1977 · German

  • Kunstakademie Düsseldorf

Blinky Palermo studied with Joseph Beuys in Düsseldorf and developed a concise abstract practice using painted objects, fabric panels, wall drawings and site-responsive color. His short career moved painting off the conventional canvas without abandoning its attention to proportion and chromatic relation.
