Italian Imprints on Twentieth-Century Architecture
Italian architecture has long exerted a special influence on the evolution of architectural ideas elsewhere - from the Beaux-Arts academy's veneration of Rome, to modernist and postmodern interest in Renaissance proportion, Baroque space, and Mannerist ambiguity. This book critically examines this enduring phenomenon, exploring the privileged position of Italian architects, architecture, and cities in the architectural culture of the past century. Questioning the deep-rooted myth of Italy within architectural history, the book presents case studies of Italy's powerful yet problematic position in 20th-century architectural ideologies, at a time when established Eurocentric narratives are righ...
Italian Prints, 1875-1975
Italian printmakers were at the forefront of contemporary stylistic movements. They pioneered Futurism, Metaphysical Painting and Arte Povera. Morandi, De Chirico and Fontana are just some of the major artists in this medium who are discussed in this book.Independence in Italy in 1861 led to a remarkable revival of high quality printmaking. This catalogue discusses the Italians' engagement with naturalism, realism and symbolism as well as their relationships with other European artists. At the end of the nineteenth century the foundation of the Venice Biennale and a series of prominent international exhibitions had an enormous impact on the Italian work. They were influenced by French, German, Swiss, British and American printmaking.This fully illustrated catalogue is the first publication of its kind and draws from the collection recently founded by The British Museum, supplemented with works from the Estorick, Tate Modern and Victoria and Albert Museum. Included are 123 works by 45 artists, introduced by a general discussion of printmaking in Italy since the beginning of the nineteeenth century.
