Book excerpt: In 1952 Umbrian artist Alberto Burri scandalized art critics and audiences worldwide with burned wood, flame-red paintings, dramatic combustions of plastic, and a black that was the color of tar. Indifferent to the twin temptations of modishness and the market, Burri made a name for himself first in the United States and then in his native Italy. "Burri: Seen/Unseen" sets out to reveal many of Burri's previously unknown works. As such, it bears wintess to Burr's ability to continually invent new combinations of forms and materials, and documents his love for small-scale formats*which serve as proof that nontraditional materials can be used even in the most minute and precise forms of painting. "Burri: Seen/Unseen" traces the artist's creative activity from his earliest works to his later years and provides an in-depth examination of his excursions into previously unexplored aesthetic territories.

Book excerpt: Alberto Burri (1915-95) revolutionized midcentury painting with his use of unconventional materials--from burlap canvases, to plastic, to cements, to scrap iron and plastic sheets. But Burri never spoke of himself or his art--he famously refused to, and in documentary films of him working, he never says a word. "My works speak for me," he maintained for almost half a century, in the course of which he turned down interviews and awards. The first and only publication of Burri's interviews in existence, Burri Inside Outcollects conversations between Burri and his friend and interlocutor Stefano Zorzi from 1994, near the end of Burri's life. In this text, we finally hear from Burri himself about his untraditional materials and processes, and about the underlying desire for formal and spatial harmony that drove his practice.

Download or read book Marshall Plan Modernism written by Jaleh Mansoor and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on artwork by Lucio Fontana, Alberto Burri, and Piero Manzoni, Jaleh Mansoor demonstrates and reveals how abstract painting, especially the monochrome, broke with fascist-associated futurism and functioned as an index of social transition in postwar Italy. Mansoor refuses to read the singularly striking formal and procedural violence of Fontana's slit canvasses, Burri's burnt and exploded plastics, and Manzoni's "achromes" as metaphors of traumatic memories of World War II. Rather, she locates the motivation for this violence in the history of the medium of painting and in the economic history of postwar Italy. Reconfiguring the relationship between politics and aesthetics, Mansoor illuminates how the monochrome's reemergence reflected Fontana, Burri, and Manzoni's aesthetic and political critique of the Marshall Plan's economic warfare and growing American hegemony. It also anticipated the struggles in Italy's factories, classrooms, and streets that gave rise to Autonomia in the 1960s. Marshall Plan Modernism refigures our understanding of modernist painting as a project about labor and the geopolitics of postwar reconstruction during the Italian Miracle.

Download or read book Alberto Burri written by Emily Braun and published by Guggenheim Museum Publications. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition - the first in the United States in more than 35 years and the most comprehensive ever mounted - this title showcases the pioneering work of Italian artist Alberto Burri (1915-1995). Exploring the beauty and complexity of Burri's process-based works, the exhibition positions the artist as a central and singular protagonist of postwar art. Burri is best known for his series of Sacchi (sacks) made of stitched and patched remnants of torn burlap bags, often combined with fragments of discarded clothing. Far less familiar are his other series, which this exhibition represents in depth: Catrami (tars), Gobbi (hunchbacks), Muffe (molds), Bianchi (whites), Legni (woods), Ferri (irons), Combustioni plastiche (plastic combustions), Cretti and Cellotex works. Burri's work both demolished and reconfigured the Western pictorial tradition, while reconceptualizing modernist collage. Using unconventional materials, he moved beyond the painted surfaces and mark making of American Abstract Expressionism and European Art Informel. Burri's unprecedented approaches to manipulating humble substances - and his abject picture-objects - also profoundly influenced Arte Povera, Neo-Dada and Process art.
