Fulvio Bianconi moved with his family to Venice at the age of seven, where his natural talent for drawing allowed him to study at the Carmini School of Art and later at the Accademia di Belle Arti. He began his career as an apprentice in the Murano glass furnaces under the direction of Michael Pinto. He also worked with various Milan publishing houses (including Mondadori, Bompiani and Garzanti), as an illustrator and graphic designer. Bianconi met Paolo Venini in 1946, a meeting that led to his collaboration for several years with the Venini glass house, based in Murano, a pioneer in 20th century glass production. Bianconi's language for Venini was based on the use of bold colors and simple shapes, often organically inspired, such as the seductive Fazzoletto series (1948) and the multicolored Pezzati vases (1950), which evoke abstraction. His work can be found in numerous museums and institutions, including: Indianapolis Museum of Art; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; the New Zealand Museum, Wellington; the Stedilijk Museum, Amsterdam; the Victoria & Albert Museum in London; and, in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art; Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum; and the Corning Museum of Glass.
