• Resumen

  • In the 1950s the American magazine Art News was an invaluable tool for Italian artists and critics as they sought to keep abreast of new pictorial idioms, from action painting to informal art. This study aims to identify how Francesco Arcangeli´s reading of the magazine was reflected in his writings, with particular reference to the crucial essay ´Una situazione non improbabile´ published in Paragone in January 1957. The focus is not only on the articles in Art News but also and above all the photographic sequences that documented how informal art was painted. Some passages of Arcangeli´s writings thus appear to be responses to how he was struck by photo essays on Pollock, Dubuffet and Fautrier.
