Twentieth-Century Italian Art: 1909-1969

to bring art closer to the people. The rise of abstraction during the 1950s and 1960s will also be examined. Lucio Fontana’s introduction of anti-artistic and industrial materials into his painting and sculpture will be investigated, as will the work of Piero Manzoni, who mercilessly attacked the post-WWII commercialisation of the avant-garde. The subject will conclude with a survey of the late 1960s work of the Arte Povera artists, whose emphasis on process and materiality will be examined as part of the ongoing ambition in Italian art to disintegrate the boundaries of traditional art.
