Download or read book Italian Drawings of the 20th Century written by Antonello Negri and published by Silvana Editoriale. This book was released on 2019 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian Drawing of the 20th Century brings together works from the Ramo Collection, the only collection in the world exclusively dedicated to drawing in Italy during the 20th century, from the great masters to lesser-known figures. The collection--and this book--presents drawing in Italy as a fundamental part of 20th-century art history. Including a wide range of techniques on paper (from watercolor to collage, crayon to felt-tip pen), this volume presents drawing as the skeleton of 20th-century art because it represents the first visualization of an idea. As an essential early step in art making, drawing is an expressive means shared by artists in working in different mediums, opening up to realization in a wide range of art practices. Italian Drawing of the 20th Century presents a specific national history for this unique, wide-ranging medium of creative thought. Among the artists featured are Balla, Baruchello, Boccioni, Crippa, de Chirico, Depero, Fabro, Fontana, Kounellis, Licini, Manzoni, Melotti, Morandi, Munari, Penone, Pistoletto, Rama, Rosso, Rotella and Severini.

Download or read book Bruno Munari written by Miroslava Hajek and published by Silvana Editoriale. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruno Munari (1907-1998) played a pioneering role in the evolution of twentieth-century art and design, his work exerting an influence that stretched far beyond the borders of Italy. Munari described the roots of his work as his 'Futurist past', but his influences were extremely varied, also reflecting the aesthetics and sensibilities of Constructivism, Dada and Surrealism. This exhibition at the Estorick collection in London explores Munari's artistic research between 1927 and 1950, spanning the artist's Futurist phase and early investigation of the possibilities of kinetic sculpture, the immediate post-war years during which he became a leading figure of abstract painting and his subsequent experiments with projected light and installation-based work. 0Exhibition: Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, London, UK (19.9.-23.12.2012).

Download or read book Franco Grignani written by Franco Grignani and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known for his iconic Woolmark logo, Franco Grignani (1908-1999) was an influential artist and graphic designer whose dazzling works anticipated Op Art.0Briefly affiliated with the Futurist movement as a young painter, he subsequently adopted a geometric abstract style that revealed an increasing fascination with optical effects and perceptual processes. From the late 1940s onward, Grignani's works took inspiration from Gestalt Psychology, and were characterized by their use of dynamic forms and 'virtual' shapes that seem to warp out of, and recede back into, the surfaces of his compositions.0Initially, Grignani's experimental approach was not understood by the artistic establishment of the day, and he worked largely in isolation. Yet he achieved great success as a graphic designer, creating striking advertising campaigns for a variety of high-profile companies including Pirelli, Fiat and Alfieri & Lacroix, as well as producing covers for a series of science fiction novels published by Penguin during the late 1960s.00Exhibition: Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, London, UK (05.07.-10.09.2017).

Download or read book Russian Ballet written by David Bomberg and published by . This book was released on 1919 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The booklet was a project Bomberg embarked upon in time he could spare from his work as an official war artist. The lithographs were executed on zinc plates, the original designs for them being drawings from 1914, done at a time when Bomberg was strongly influenced by Diaghilev's designs for the Ballet Russes. One hundred copies of the booklet were handprinted by Bomberg, with the covers sewn on by his wife Alice. The imprint of Henderson's (a bookshop in Charing Cross Road) was probably added after Bomberg was prevented from selling the booklets himself at the Alhambra Theatre, where Diaghilev's company was performing in 1919. ( Information from : David Bomberg / [by] Richard Cork (New Haven ; London : Yale University Press, 1987)).

Download or read book Oscar Wilde s Italian Dream 1875 1900 written by Renato Miracco and published by Damiani Limited. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italy as a haven of gay liberty: a grand tour with Oscar Wilde, featuring previously unseen photographs and archival materials In Oscar Wilde's Italian Dream 1875-1900, leading Wilde scholar Renato Miracco combines written research with previously unseen visual material ranging from Wilde's earliest heady trips to Italy as an Oxford student to recently released court documents from his trial and his final days in France and Italy in 1900, after his incarceration in Reading Gaol, and his voluntary exile from Britain. Italy, and the larger world beyond London, was essential to the sensitivity and awareness of Wilde's identity, his contributions to prison reform and his challenges to social norms and sexual stereotypes in his last years. It also offered a great deal of sexual liberty compared to the oppressive moral atmosphere of England at that time. The previously unseen images Miracco has incorporated in this volume (including photos that Wilde received from the gay German photographer Wilhelm von Gloeden) are mainly from private collections, and together with letters, reminiscences and magazine and newspaper articles (along with derogatory articles about Wilde from the Italian press) they play a key role in placing Wilde's character, and an entire generation, in a complex context. Oscar Wilde's Italian Dream 1875-1900is a major addition to the canon of one of the world's greatest literary figures. Renato Miracco(born 1953) is an Italian art critic and curator. He was awarded the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic for Cultural Achievements in 2018. He served as Cultural Attaché for the Italian Embassy in Washington from 2010 to 2018 and as advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy. Miracco has curated major exhibitions for Tate Modern in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and London's Estorick Collection. His passion for Wilde dates from the early 1980s when he wrote his first essay on Wilde's time in Italy. This new book on Wilde is based on new materials that Miracco has found over the last few years.

Download or read book Futurist Painting Sculpture Plastic Dynamism written by Umberto Boccioni and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Futurist Painting Sculpture (Plastic Dynamism), a truly radical book by Umberto Boccioni (1882–1916), claimed a central position in artistic debates of the 1910s and 1920s, exerting a powerful influence on the Italian Futurist movement as well as on the entire European historical avant-garde, including Dada and Constructivism. Today, Boccioni is best known as an artist whose paintings and sculptures are prized for their revolutionary aesthetic by American and European museums. But Futurist Painting Sculpture demonstrates that he was also the foremost avant-garde theorist of his time. In his distinctive, exhilarating prose style, Boccioni not only articulates his own ideas about the Italian movement’s underpinnings and goals but also systematizes the principles expressed in the vast array of manifestos that the Futurists had already produced. Featuring photographs of fifty-one key works and a large selection of manifestos devoted to the visual arts, Boccioni’s book established the canon of Italian Futurist art for many years to come. First published in Italian in 1914, Futurist Painting Sculpture has never been available in English—until now. This edition includes a critical introduction by Maria Elena Versari. Drawing on the extensive Futurist archives at the Getty Research Institute, Versari systematically retraces, for the first time, the evolution of Boccioni’s ideas and arguments; his attitude toward contemporary political, racial, philosophical, and scientific debates; and his polemical view of Futurism’s role in the development of modern art.

Download or read book Marisa Merz written by Cornelia H. Butler and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together five decades of painting, sculpture, and installations from the celebrated Italian artist Marisa Merz, this monograph accompanies a major US retrospective of her work. This generously illustrated book offers readers the chance to appreciate the full range of works by Marisa Merz, winner of the 2013 Golden Lion lifetime achievement award at the Venice Biennale. This volume traces Merz's artistic evolution from early experiments with non-traditional materials and processes, to intricately constructed installations of the 1970s and the enigmatic ceramic heads of the 1980s and '90s. Authoritative essays explore the rise of international women's art in the 1960s and '70s and Merz's own place in Italy's postwar art history. As the sole female protagonist of Arte Povera she is one of the few Italian women to exhibit in major venues internationally. Merz's challenging and evocative body of work is deeply personal and resistant to the categories of art history, including Arte Povera and international feminist art, with which she was associated. Previously unpublished texts and poetry by the artist, and an illustrated chronology, complement this comprehensive look at an enormously influential artist.
