[edit] Biography
He was born in Ferrara.
He debuted in 1916 as poet, with the collection Canti della Croara. After having moved to Paris, he began to paint. Later, in Ferrara, his frequentation with Giorgio De Chirico, Carlo Carrà and Alberto Savinio led De Pisis to a short period of allegiance to Metaphyisical painting.
Later he moved to Rome, where his works started to show a strong influence from the warm colours of 18th century paintings, which he showed in a long series of still lifes, most of which depicting flowers. He also produced some vedutas of Paris, London, Venice, as well as nudes.
Is work for the Collezione Verzocchi in 1949-1950 is now housed in the Pinacoteca Civica of Forlì.
He died in Milan after a long illness, in 1956.
