Catalogue for the major retrospective of this breakthrough Italian artist.
Lucio Fontana (1899–1968), a major figure of postwar European art, blurred numerous boundaries in his life and his work. Moving beyond the slashed canvases for which he is renowned, this book takes a fresh look at Fontana’s innovations in painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and installation art. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana} Fontana was an important figure in both Italy and his native Argentina, where he pushed the painterly into the sculptural and redefined the relationship between mediums. Archival images of environments, public commissions, installations, and now-destroyed pieces accompany lavish illustrations of his work from 1930 to the late 1960s, providing a new approach to an artist who helped define the political, cultural, and technological thresholds of the mid-twentieth century.
El libro lleva a cabo un análisis comparativo entre los escritores Christopher Isherwood y Andrés Carranque de Ríos a través de sus dos obras esenciales: Goodbye to Berlin (1935) y La vida difícil (1935) respectivamente. Estas dos obras esenciales, aunque situadas en dos tradiciones culturales distintas, coinciden y representan a una década con una doble misión histórica, una, la que representa al arte más propio del siglo XX a través la experimentación literaria y artística y otra, en la que nos hace sentir los grandes progresos sociales y humanos de la misma. La labor de análisis desarrollada por el autor se centra primordialmente en aquellos puntos donde contenidos y estructuras se acercan y aportan más elementos comunes. Todo en conjunto para demostrar y encontrar un sentido universal de la literatura como literatura comparada y de la literatura comparada como literatura.
