Synopsis "Arte Povera and the Baroque: Building an International Identity"

This book explores the social history of contemporary Italian art with a focus on its relation to theories of national identity, cultural inheritance, and baroque historiography. Its scope encompasses Fascism's involvement in the visual arts in the first half of the twentieth century and the regime's deployment of the avant-garde as well as Italy's interwar cultural isolation and Informale's experimental works. The analysis of the baroque-centric vision of Arte Povera in the post-war era leads into the discussion of Italian artists' relation to the cultural past. The baroque is employed as an historical, conceptual model involving notions of nature, space, tension, theatricality, time, materials and the senses, and is used to trace the trajectory of Italian art's evolution in style and ideology in the twentieth century. The book examines the work of Arte Povera artists in the context of a persisting alternation between tradition and revolution and provides an alternate reading to analyses rooted in a materials-based interpretation.
