Extended program

Through the analysis of visual sources and artist's writings, the course will analyze the multiple aspects of Italian art after the Second World War. Particular attention will be paid to the various positions of the cultural debate, to the promotion initiatives in the "art system" (galleries, national exhibitions, magazines etc.) which mark the openings and the renewal of languages.
Key points of the discussion will be: the main poles of artistic production; the linguistic koinè under the sign of neocubism;il "Fronte Nuovo delle Arti"; "Forma 1"; Guttuso and artists at Villa Massimo in Rome; "Gruppo degli Otto";
"Ultimo naturalismo".
