Salvatore Fiume

Salvatore Fiume (1915 - 1997) was active/lived in Italy.  Salvatore Fiume is known for Painting and sculpture.

Salvatore Fiume was a friend of Quasimodo and Buzzati.  He appeared in the magazines Life and Time.  In 1947, when there seemed to be no market for his works, being determined to succeed in the art world, he decided to resort to an original ploy.  He invented the existence of a Spanish gypsy painter, called Francisco Queyo and painted a group of works inspired by Spanish tradition and folklore, which were put on display at the Galleria Gussoni of Milan, where he obtained a great success. 

Only thanks to Dino Buzzati, it was discovered the true identity of the author of the paintings signed F. Queyo.  The artist then participated in numerous exhibitions and won several awards.
