Biography
Calogero was born August 20, 1922 in Catania, Sicily. Self-taught, because his parents could not afford to send him to the fine arts schools, he did follow the course of artistic high school in his hometown. First exhibitions in 1945 in Sicily and Rome were very successful. He arrived in Paris in 1947 and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He is best known for his Surrealist and genre works. His paintings are dreamlike and visionary.
