Emilio Greco

Emilio Greco (1913 - 1995) was active/lived in Italy.  Emilio Greco is known for Elongated nude figure sculpture, paintings and ink drawings.

Emilio Greco, (born Oct. 11, 1913, Catania, Italy—died April 5, 1995, Rome), Italian sculptor of bronze and marble figurative works, primarily female nudes and portraits.

Though he began exhibiting in Rome in 1943, he was not well-established until after World War II. His first solo exhibition was held in 1946, and in 1948 he became a teaching assistant at the Artistic Secondary School in Rome.
