Extended program
The course will explore some of the founding moments of plastic research between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. In the transition from nineteenth-century realism to the revolutionary modernist syntax, free from any narration, the following themes will be treated in particular:
Rodin's modeling between representation of the idea, naturalism and poetics of the fragment.
Medardo Rosso and his search for light.
Primitivism in Brancusi and Picasso.
Spatiality and movement in Boccioni's sculpture.
Visual sources and "plastic values" by Arturo Martini. The rediscovery of terracotta in the Thirties.
Movement, light and theatricality in Calder.
Lucio Fontana and the color of sculpture.
