Doubting the public role of art, they chose a solitary path that did not involve confrontations with each other or manifestos or theoretical texts declaring a common path. Even the French critic Michel Tapi\u00e9, to whom we owe the term Informal, always refused to confine the trend in too tight and defined codes, distancing himself from it when it took on too precise connotations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paths of the Informal movement were many and varied, the daughters of as many autonomous and original personalities, whose research found only a few aspects in common, such as spontaneity, gestural instinct, rejection of all laws and geometry, and improvisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Informal wave spread throughout the West as an alternative to the figurative painting typical of the age of totalitarian regimes, as an angry response to the violence of which man had shown himself capable; in Italy, the 1950s witnessed the evolution of this art form, which manifested itself in multiple versions. In contrast to figurative painting, especially that which was socially and politically committed, which was also firmly supported by the new government, artists such as <strong>Afro, Chighine, Vedova and Burri <\/strong>established themselves, who employed matter and colour as free and powerful means of expression, or painters who reinterpreted figuration in a new light, such as <strong>Ennio Morlotti and Mattia Moreni<\/strong>, or the exponents of Existential Realism such as <strong>Mino Ceretti and Bepi Romagnoni,<\/strong> locked in their painful nihilism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>23 May<\/strong> and <strong>29 May<\/strong>: guided tour in italian of the exhibition with curator Simona Bartolena; The cost is \u20ac 18 (includes admission plus guided tour) and reservation is compulsory at the following e-mail address: prenotazionimostrevidi@gmail.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>19 May <\/strong>and <strong>26 May<\/strong>: guided tour in italian of the exhibition; The cost is \u20ac 16 (includes admission plus guided tour) and reservation is compulsory at the following e-mail address: prenotazioni@vivilecco.it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exhibition focuses on the post-World War II period, a time when Informal art spread as an expressive urgency, as an alternative to the figuration typical of the era of totalitarian regimes, and as a decisive response to the violence of which mankind had shown itself capable.
