Collezione Giuseppe Iannaccone
The first volume on the Collezione Giuseppe Iannaccone covers the works produced in the period 1920-45, personally chosen by the collector and purchased up to the date of 30 November 2016. The collection was built up specifically as a homogeneous group of works essentially representing the course of artistic developments from 1920 to 1945 outside the canons of the Novecento Italiano movement and the "return to order". The first part of the book is devoted to Giuseppe Iannaccone and his personal vision of the history of art, describing the life and the decisions that characterize the collection with the greatest possible fidelity. Flavio Fergonzi then presents the twenty-five years in questio...
The Mattioli Collection
Since the 1940s Gianni Mattioli's collection of modern art has been a touchstone of the history of 20th century collecting. The pieces reproduced in this volume have been listed under Italian law since 1939 to protect the nation's cultural heritage.
Morandi
Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) built his visual lexicon from the most minimal of props--dust-covered bottles, bowls, vases, pitchers, tins and boxes. From it, he composed delicious permutations of quiet still lifes, in the most muted yet luminous of palettes, transforming the genre of still life into a cosmos. The composer Morton Feldman once wrote that in his own work he was "interested in getting to Time in its unstructured existence... How Time exists before we put our paws on it," and in this sense Morandi may be his counterpart in paint: his painted objects seem to possess a subtle self-sufficiency and interiority. Accompanying a recent exhibition at the Phillips Collection, Washington D.C., this beautifully designed catalogue contains a selection of reproductions buttressed with two essays by Morandi experts: Flavio Fergonzi appraises the myths that have attached to Morandi, the history of his critical reception and the cities with which the artist was particularly associated; Elisabetta Barisoni discusses Morandi's reception in America.
Marino Marini
Visual Passions' examines how the sculpture of Marino Marini was influenced by those major episodes in Italian and international art to which he was drawn.0The post World War II period saw his fame spread abroad and his works enter major international museums and foreign private collections. The purpose of this exhibition catalogue is to establish the visual links that connect Marini's sculpture to the work of major sculptors of the late nineteenth and twentieth-centuries (Rodin, Maillol, Despiau, Lehmbruck, Picasso, Moore).0Despite a long exhibition history and a vast bibliography, Marini has never adequately been studied in terms of the historical and stylistic context of his production. This book sets out to rectify this omission, which alone can establish Marini's proper place in the history of twentieth-century Modernism.00Exhibition: Palazzo Fabroni, Pistoia, Italy (16.09.2017-07.01.2018).
Mussolini, Architect
During the fascist years in Italy, architecture and politics enjoyed a close alliance. Benito Mussolini used architecture to educate the masses, exploiting its symbolic prowess as a powerful tool for achieving political consensus. Mussolini, Architect examines Mussolini in Italy from 1922 to 1943 and expands the traditional interpretations of fascism, advancing the claim that Mussolini devised and implemented architecture as a tool capable of determining public behaviour and influencing opinion. Paolo Nicoloso challenges the assertion that Mussolini was of minimal influence on Italian architecture and argues that in fact the fascist leader played a strong role in encouraging civic architectu...

Modigliani Sculptor
To date, there have only been two exhibitions devoted to the sculptural work of the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920): in 1911 at the Parisian studio of the Portuguese painter Amadeo de Souza Cardoso and in 1912 at the famed Salon d'Automne. Modigliani Sculptor is the product of six years of painstaking research, which uncovered unpublished and little-known historical documents. It takes into account relationships among the sculptors who lived or exhibited in Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, and also points to remarkable stylistic comparisons, illustrating a wide range of sources for Modigliani's sculptures including tribal and Oriental models. A true labor of love and art-historical excavation, Modigliani Sculptor will provide scholars and the general public with a unique opportunity to discover an almost unexplored chapter in the history of the great artist.
2022
The first part of the yearbook contains ten essays on Futurist art and literature in Italy, France, Russia, Poland, Portugal and the former colony of Goa. Among other things, early Futurist publishing and propaganda initiatives by means of manifestos, press releases, and newssheets are examined, as well as Athos Casarini's artistic and political work undertaken in Italy and the USA. Articles in the second part deal with the 30th anniversary of the international Academy of Zaum as well as various conferences, exhibitions and publications celebrating the centenary of Zenitism in Serbia and Croatia. Critical responses to exhibitions, conferences and publications as well as a bibliographical section with information on 139 recent book publications on Futurism conclude the yearbook.
The Visual in Sport
This comprehensive, novel and exciting interdisciplinary collection brings together leading international authorities from the history of sport, social history, art history, film history, design history, cultural studies and related fields to explore the ways in which visual culture has shaped, and continues to impact upon, our understanding of sport as an integral element within popular culture. Visual representations of sport have previously been little examined and under-exploited by historians, with little focused and rigorous scrutiny of these vital historical documents. This study seeks to redress this balance by engaging with a wide variety of cultural products, ranging from sports st...
