The French painters Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940) and Ker-Xavier Roussel (1867-1944) had a singular relationship, sharing similar artistic trajectories and interests in careers that bridged the 19th and 20th centuries. One such shared interest was the landscape genre, which both artists returned to again and again, in paintings and drawings, as a site for stylistic experimentation. In the 1890s, the two artists painted landscapes in order to renew the genre, filtering it through the radical, anti-naturalistic colors of the Nabis group. By the 1920s and 1930s, Vuillard and Roussel were swept up in the "return to order," painting the landscape in a classicizing, decorative style. This new volume examines the theme of the landscape in the oeuvres of the two painters, offering a new perspective on the evolution of European painting over the course of half a century.

Questo libro d¿artista accompagna la ricerca messa in atto dall¿artista ceco Krištof Kintera (Praga, 1973) per la realizzazione di Postnaturalia, una complessa installazione scultorea esposta presso la Collezione Maramotti.Alla base della riflessione, l¿idea che lo scenario in cui si inscrive la nostra esperienza quotidiana non sia più quella del mondo naturale: nella cosiddetta ¿età del rame¿, basata sulla trasmissione di energia e informazioni, la natura viene ricreata in uno spazio para-vegetale, paragonabile a un ampio e intricato sistema nervoso.Il volume è composto da due sezioni: Herbarium e Cuprum Factum. La prima pone in dialogo, attraverso l¿analogia, le nuove creazioni di sintetica bellezza con disegni o incisioni storiche o pagine di erbari di soggetti botanici, molti dei quali tratti dalle Collezioni naturalistiche dei Musei Civici; la seconda accoglie testi e immagini sul processo di creazione delle opere in laboratorio e quelle presentate nella mostra di Reggio Emilia.Kintera si insinua nel tema del ¿post-naturale¿ con vivide suggestioni visive che conduce con spirito ironico, giocoso ma anche amaro, nel quadro di una complessa interrogazione sociale e politica sul nostro tempo, mosso dalla speranza di sollecitare consapevolezza su una questione di grande attualità.

La figura di Vincenzo Agnetti (Milano 1926 - 1981) è centrale nel panorama internazionale dell¿arte concettuale degli anni settanta: poeta, critico, ¿dicitore¿, ha maturato il suo autonomo percorso sin dai tempi dell¿amicizia con Piero Manzoni e col gruppo di Azimuth, ma è col 1966-1967 che si indirizza alla produzione di opere ¿ come gli ¿assiomi¿ in bachelite o i ¿ritratti¿ in feltro ¿ e di azioni in cui fondamentali sono i concetti di parola, territorio, ¿traduzione¿, relazione, singolarità e universalità della comunicazione. Questo volume, curato da Marco Meneguzzo con l¿Archivio Vincenzo Agnetti, grazie ai numerosi saggi, al ricco apparato iconografico e scientifico, è tra i più completi strumenti di conoscenza di un¿artista a cui il sistema dell¿arte globale sta tributando un meritato successo.
