- Summary:
- Part of the avant-garde Origin Group in Rome in the 1950s, Alberto Burri championed the use of found, non-art materials, and made bold artistic inventions. This book takes a close look at Burri's entire output, which includes a range of works -- from monumental sculpture to painting cycles. A physician by training, the important Italian artist Alberto Burri (1915-95) gave up his profession in 1944 to dedicate himself to painting.
