Oltre la Pittura
Rossi Martino proudly announces Oltre la Pittura, an exhibition foregrounding a generation of seminal post-war artists active in Italy who not only elaborated upon the widespread cubist painterly syntax of preceding decades, but also updated the terms of abstract and informal art. On view will be a wide range of works by Lucio Fontana, Mimmo Rotella, Piero Manzoni, Enrico Castellani, Agostino Bonalumi, Salvatore Scarpitta, Carla Accardi, Alighiero Boetti and Carol Rama, who joined their European counterparts in developing innovative approaches to art-making, thus extricating Italy from decades of cultural isolation.
The title of the presentation 鈥� Oltre la Pittura, or 鈥榖eyond painting鈥� 鈥� speaks to both the material rupture of the painterly surface, which was practiced by these leading exponents of the Italian post-war avant-garde, and the conceptual transcendence of the idea of painting, defined exclusively by means of an imagistic construction.
