| book description |

A massive full-career retrospective for Arte Informale painter Emilio Vedova One hundred years after his birth, Emilio Vedova examines the career of the Italian painter Emilio Vedova (1919â€“2006), best known for his role in the postwar Arte Informale movement. The book surveys Vedovaâ€™s career in terms of the artistâ€™s investigations of line and gesture: from the lively, energetic landscape drawings of the 1930s through his progress toward increasingly expressive, materially inventive workâ€”like the Plurimi of the 1960s, in which the artist broke up the surface of a picture into multiple pieces. The publicationâ€™s account of Vedovaâ€™s career is enriched by an extensive set of illustrations: images of the artistâ€™s works, plus reproductions of his personal photographs, texts and archival material that flesh out the artistâ€™s historical and artistic context. Emilio Vedova offers a comprehensive overview of the work of a pivotal figure in postwar Italian art.
