The unifying thread of the publication is in the title
that is chosen from the two volumes published by Giulio Einaudi just three
years before the death of Arcangeli in 1977, and brings together the most
important of his writings. The volume will chronologically present the
English romantics, in particular Turner and Constable, and their forerunners
Reynolds and Gainsborough.
These are followed by important figures of French painting, Corot and Courbet
who were considered milestones in the 19th c. for new i
deas on "nature" which
he analyses and also finds in Impressionism with Cézanne, Renoir and
Monet.
The 'Informal' represents for Arcangeli the condition in which art and existence
were inseparable: the protagonists being Wols, Dubuffet, De Staël, and
Pollock -- the real apex of Arcangeli's work according to the common thread
to this
romantic journey.
The final part belongs to the Italians Burri , Leoncillo
and the "last naturalists" Morlotti , Mandelli and Moreni.
