About :
“The Seven Pillars of Today’s Art” by Flavio Caroli. Mondadori Editore Flavio Caroli, art critic and historian, talks with Paola Bertola, professor of Design, Politecnico di Milano Introduced by Donatella Sciuto, Dean of Politecnico di Milano « I’m interested in everything about my time. And if it’s about art, creativity and beauty, I simply get lost.» Flavio Caroli, one of the most well-known and esteemed Italian art critics and historians, made us fall in love with the great works of the past. In this new volume, he prepares us for love at first sight with «the genius of the 21st century», identifying its «pillars», because «you can’t understand today’s art if you don’t know at least its foundations». At the origin of the many languages of contemporary art, Caroli identifies seven revolutions that have matured since the years of the Second World War. The adventure can only begin with Action Painting and the canvases of Jackson Pollock – alongside him, the Frenchman Jean Fautrier, founder of Informalism on this side of the Atlantic –, to continue with Pop Art in a "world that escapes in every way from the confines of traditional visual art". While then photography and figurative painting, two languages that have been at war with each other for more than a century and a half, impose themselves through the shots of Irving Penn and Ugo Mulas, and the paintings of Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud: everything is already ready for the subsequent revolutions. Environmental Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Arte Povera, Body Art, self-harm in London in the Seventies, the pioneer Marina Abramović, Abstract Art, Anish Kapoor, «a wonderful bridge between Eastern and Western art», up to the «anti-Mannerist» Eighties – which always, in different centuries, rather than closing their own time anticipate the century that is about to begin –, with protagonists, among others, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Flavio Caroli recounts the formation and evolution of these fundamental artistic nodes, points out their derivations, the legacies matured and the projections into the future. Between personal memories, anecdotes and poetic interpretations, accompanied by the images of the masterpieces of the last seventy years, The Seven Pillars of Today's Art is a precious viaticum to read our contemporaneity with the eyes of aesthetics.
