Resumen de Francesco Arcangeli tra opera e comportamento
Between the end of the 1960s and the early 1970s, artistic evolution has seen the emergence of poetics centred on the corporeal and on the relationship of the individual to the surrounding world, variously defined by the labels Anti-form, Arte Povera, Body Art, and Conceptual Art. Francesco Arcangeli was no stranger to these phenomena, and contributed significantly to their critical reception. A thorough review of his observations, as found in texts written between 1967 and 1972, now enables us not only to understand the reason for his interest in those movements, apparently so extraneous to his own interests, but also to re-read Arte Povera from an existential, rather than ideological, point of view, thus revealing a full expression of its aesthetic values.
