Synopsis

• The volume describes the life, encounters and artworks of a great season in Italian art through the creative path of Giosetta Fioroni

During the 1960s in Rome, the artist Giosetta Fioroni discovered her language of expression by combining her passion for literature with her passion for painting. She merged the perturbations of Informal Art with notions of emerging Pop Art - becoming one of its prominent figures.

Silver is the colour characterising Giosetta Fioroni's paintings from that decade. And indeed it represents the artist's unmistakable 'trademark' - to the point of overshadowing the linguistic and emotional apprehensions populating her works and the events in her life before and after those happy and acknowledged times. This book, edited by Marco Meneguzzo and Piero Mascitti, portrays the complexity of an artist within the expressive abundance of a time and a city. A time and a city so stratified at a cultural level as to have more than one surprise in store for historical and critical analysis.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The life, friendships, artworks of a great season of Italian art through the creative trajectory of Giosetta Fioroni. In Rome in the 1960s, the artist finds her expressive formula by combining her literary passion with the language of painting, updating the preoccupations of informal art with the figures of the emerging Pop Art, of which she becomes one of the leading artists. The colour silver that characterises Giosetta Fioroni’s paintings from that decade indeed represents the artist’s unmistakeable “trademark” to the point that it overshadows the linguistic and emotional preoccupations that populate her works and personal events from before and after this happy and recognised time. Edited by Marco Meneguzzo, Piero Mascitti and Elettra Bottazzi, this book conveys the complexity of an artist in the expressive richness of a time and a city so culturally stratified that they are still full of surprise for historical and critical analysis.
