Jaleh Mansoor

Marshall Plan Modernism

Italian Postwar Abstraction and the Beginnings of Autonomia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on the work of Italian artists Lucio Fontana, Alberto Burri, and Piero Manzoni, Jaleh Mansoor demonstrates and reveals how abstract painting in post-WWII Italy critiqued the economic violence of the Marshall Plan and American hegemony, broke with fascist-associated futurism, and anticipated Italian social unrest in the 1960 and 1970s.
