Life and career
editBorn in Bologna, Bendini studied at the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts, under Giorgio Morandi and Virgilio Guidi.[1] In 1956 he was invited to show his work at the 27th edition of the Venice Biennale. This was followed by two more participations, each time with a solo presentation of his work, in 1964 and 1972.[1]
After a period close to informalism, especially to the "last naturalism" theorized by Francesco Arcangeli, Bendini expanded his visual language to other forms, including Neo-Dada, Arte Povera and conceptual phases. In the late 1970s he eventually re-embraced an Informalist style in his paintings.[2]
