More impor- tantly, the artist himself favored a formalist interpretation since the late 1930s, which has all but precluded historical approaches to his work except for a few notable exceptions.2 The critic Cesare Brandi, who inaugurated the formalist discourse on Morandi, wrote in 1939 that “nothing is less abstract, less uproot- ed from the world, less indifferent to pain, less deaf to joy than this painting, which apparently retreats to the margins of life and interests itself, withdrawn, in dusty kitchen cupboards.”3 In order to further remove Morandi from the 1.

  • UNFOLDING of HISTORY. AGOSTINO BONALUMI, SANDRO DE ALEXANDRIS” Curated by Marco Meneguzzo
    MILAN GALLERIA 10 A.M. ART FROM 10 JUNE TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2021 “UNFOLDING OF HISTORY. AGOSTINO BONALUMI, SANDRO DE ALEXANDRIS” curated by Marco Meneguzzo From 10 June to 30 September the Galleria 10 A.M. ART in Milan is organising the show Unfolding of history. Agostino Bonalumi, Sandro De Alexandris. In the show an important selection of works from the 1960s and 1970s will open a new dialogue between the researches of the two artists. This is what the curator, Marco Meneguzzo, has written: The habit of looking at a certain kind of reading of history – all histories – is usually generated by a very convincing interpretation of what has happened, and also of the inevitable generalisations that the distance in time from the events produces in those very interpretations. The history of art, which is made of individuals as well as of languages, is not immune from these generalisations and habits: the cataloguing by movements and by successive phases really is convenient (from the viewpoint of scholastic or frivolous divulgation) and allows the placing of each work of an artist in the place that news and the universally known attribute to them, and thus to define them once and for all, in such a way as to make clear what we are speaking about and anyway the territory in which we move. Luckily, history is a dynamic affair that, even without resorting to impossible revisionism, in the urgency of defining certain important moments of its course – important for us, not for history in itself which is indifferent –, together with generalisations, searches the opposite pole in order to refine its own view, to make it more acute until it finds the various underground rivers of its own course which, on the one hand, shift from the principle current and, on the other, perhaps finds in another direction part of that current that was held to run calmly to the mouth.

  • Michele Dantini, Gradus Ad Parnassum. Giulio Paolini, “Autoritratto”, 1969, in “Palinsesti
    Michele Dantini, Gradus ad Parnassum. Giulio Paolini, “Autoritratto”, 1969, in “Palinsesti. Contemporary Italian Art On-Line Journal”, vol. 1, n. 2, 2011, pp. 1-11. Nel 1969 Giulio Paolini realizza un singolare Autoritratto “turchesco”: poco visto, poco noto, pressoché dimenticato persino dall’artista (fig. 1). Ricorre a una fotografia in bianco e nero anonima, casuale, trovata chissà dove. L’immagine dell’Autoritratto non ha niente a che fare con l’aspetto dell’artista: mostra un anziano dagli abiti in apparenza orientali, dall’atteggiamento smarrito. Ha grande barba, turbante e scarpette. Alle sue spalle un ampio portale in bronzo modellato in profondità e ornato di motivi a racemi, inserito tra imponenti pilastri in marmo. Un sufi, un ex Giovane turco in gita sul Bosforo, un pittore-pellegrino appassionato e schivo con cartelletta e ombrellino parasole oppure Giovanni Bellini redivivo? Non sappiamo, né disponiamo di alcuna biografia. Ma all’immagine giova lo statuto di relitto: dilapidata dal tempo, i fortuiti passaggi di mano e l’eccessiva esposizione alla luce, è un documento di cui è andato perduto l’archivio. Il retino fotografico, bene in vista, lascia supporre che l’immagine sia il dettaglio isolato e ingrandito di una vecchia cartolina. QUALE TRADIZIONE? Due sole evidenze ci sorreggono nella nostra indagine. La prima: l’anziano è un pittore, per questo desta l’interesse di Paolini. Esibisce infatti diligenti attributi del mestiere. La seconda: all’affaticato sgomento dello sguardo contribuisce non poco il confronto, impari, tra le proprie capacità e la soggiogante eredità ricevuta. Il portale si chiude alle spalle quasi a sospingere fuori, o a vietare l’accesso.

  • 143 4. the CIAC in CONTEXT 4.1 Introduction This Chapter Bridges
    4. THE CIAC IN CONTEXT 4.1 Introduction This chapter bridges the chronological narrative of the last two chapters by considering the pre-history and history of the first eight years of the Centro Internazionale delle Arti e del Costume (CIAC), which forms the case study of this dissertation. For this reason, it focuses on the SNIA Viscosa and its marketing tactics as developed through exhibitions organised between the 1930s and the early 1960s. Opened in 1951 and funded by the SNIA Viscosa to promote a cultural image of the company, the CIAC was an original institution whose agenda depended on Franco and Paolo Marinotti’s personal visions rather than on established disciplines as was instead the case with traditional historical museums. The analysis of the first eight years of the CIAC forms the basis for the main argument of the dissertation – developed at length in the next chapter– that Fascism and commerce played a significant role in the emergence of the contemporary curator, by providing a different and more flexible institutional context from the traditional one offered by museums for the display of contemporary art through thematic contemporary art exhibitions. The relationship that grew between the world of production and the art world in respect to Italian display culture has never been explored within either curatorial studies or the history of exhibitions.1 Klonk, although addressing the broader topic, chooses not to analyse the Italian context, deciding that it is not relevant for the ‘story of the emergence of the white cube’.2 It is only thanks to historians of architecture and historians of design that the theme has been explored: Paolo Fossati, Renato De Fusco and Anty Pansera are among those who have touched upon the issue in their publications.

Con le immagini più variopinte egli adorna, a suo piacere e in ogni forma, il cosmo (Gregorio Nazianzieno, Patrologia Graeca 37, 624 A). Ma nessuno né in cielo, né in terra, né sottoterra era in grado di aprire il libro e di leggerlo (Giovanni, Apocalisse, 5-3) Anch’io faccio cambiare casa alle parole, alle parole che non son mie, e metto mano a ciò che non conosco senza capire cosa sto spostando. (Valerio Magrelli, L’imballatore) Ho parlato con Dante il quale mi ha giurato che Beatrice non è mai esistita. Ho sentito, al telefono, Petrarca, il quale, sotto giuramento, dice che Laura non si è vista mai. Ma tu ci sei. Perché mi togli il sonno, o ti lamenti per il mal di gola. E quando, piena di raffreddore, vorresti delle mele, dici: abore, portami delle bele. Quindi esisti, perché si ride: anzi: si scoppia a ridere coniugando la emme di amore che diventa abore: tu sei il nuovo alfabeto italiano, tu sei la risata intorno ai tuoi dolori, alla tua febbre, al tuo gran bale (Giorgio Soavi, Novità del giorno d’oggi) Il poeta ha tre orecchi: due per udire le cose del mondo, uno per sentire la musica dell’anima. Quello dell’anima non l’ho mai avuto, e passi, ma anche dal destro sul capo mi pare di non sentir più tanto bene.
