Giulio Turcato (1912 - 1995) was an Italian artist who belonged to both the figurative and abstract styles of expressionist art.

Giulio Turcato was one of the most important interpreters of international pictorial abstractionism, although his work is highly articulated and also embraces the figurative, sculptural and scenographic spheres.

He completed his artistic training in Venice, attending the artistic high school and the nude art school. In 1937, he moved to Milan, where he came into contact with the Corrente group, but never joined it.

In the early 1940s, he moved to Rome, where he frequented the Osteria Fratelli Menghi, a well-known meeting place for painters, directors, scriptwriters, writers and poets. Together with Prampolini, Fazzini, Jarema, Savelli, Mafai, Corpora, Consagra and Perilli, he formed the Art Club association and exhibited his work in various galleries, including Zodiac Gallery and Il Pincio Gallery.

He exhibited with staff all over the world, notably in documentary reviews at Kassel and the San Paolo Biennale. Among museums, he has exhibited at New York's MoMa, Milan's Pavilion of Contemporary Art, Munich's Staatsgalerie Moderner Kunst, Geneva's Musée de l'Athénée, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and many others.
