Oggetto, spazio, immagine: micro-avventure spaziali dell'arte italiana (1950-1972)

Abstract

From 1950 to 1972 the most important period of the race towards space is realized; in the same period the Visual Arts in Italy work on the spatial imagery, sometimes also by bright anticipations, and they implement an equally radical transformation of their operative language. The article intends to investigate the common condition between Visual Arts and spatial research, identifying three steps that characterize three different phases: a phase of the object, a phase of the space-environment, a phase of the image.
