Italian Painting

Texts by Germano Celant, Cesare Brandi, Ida Gianelli, Giorgio Verzotti, and others. As a primer on contemporary Italian art, this book profiles twelve of Italy`s most representative artists -- among them Burri, Griffa, Merz, Anselmo, and Clemente. The work of each is presented alongside brief texts by the artists themselves. The texts illuminate the ways these varied artists approach the creative process. The result is more than the usual book of images, but is an excavation into the hearts and minds of some of Italy`s best-known image-makers. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
