Emilio Vedova: Venice’s Abstract Expressionist – Two Coats of Paint M9 Museum: Emilio Vedova, Rivoluzione Vedova, 2023, Installation View (photo courtesy of M9) Contributed by David Carrier / Emilio Vedova (1919–2006), who lived and worked in Venice, was once aptly dubbed the Jackson Pollock of the barricades. Employing that American painter’s gestural technique, Vedova made political art. “Rivoluzione Vedova” – “Revolution Vedova” – is an appreciative retrospective of his work on the third floor of the spacious M9 Museum of the 20th Century in Mestre, a very short train ride from Venice.
