The effervescent, creative synergy among Italian artists and designers
in the post-war, post-fascist period is the subject of this exhibition
catalogue for a show in Paris held at the end of 2019. Forty works of
avant-garde art and design highlight the common aspirations and
experimental spirit of this visionary generation, featuring artists and
works that mirror each other in their approach to the world. Included
here are works by Lucio Fontana, Carlo Mollino, Ettore Sottsass, Gaetano
Pesce, Carlo Scarpa, Gino Sarfatti, Dadamaino, Alighiero Boetti, Mimmo
Rotella, Gio Ponti, and Piero Manzoni, among others. In this show,
Italian artists, architects, and designers reveal their exceptional
ability to overturn the boundaries between art and design. Their
visionary modernism is still influential today.
