Giuseppe Riccardo "Beppe" Devalle (8 April 1940 – 4 February 2013) was an Italian painter and collagist, acknowledged as one of the most interesting and highly appreciated artists of the last few decades of Italian painting.[1][2] He always refuted the prevailing trends of the day so as to create and distinguish his own individual style: this may explain why Devalle has often been overlooked and placed as something of an outsider. He has been known as a master of photomontage[3][4][5] and defined as a creator of the 'New Epic Italian style'.[6]
