THE SILENT AVANT-GARDES To those who are fond of history of art we suggest this book which starts the Collection "The Oreads". The author, architect and painter, art historian and critician, with an extremely rigorous style deals with the short-lived phenomenon which has crossed the Twentieth Century, outlining the main artistic events lived in Turin, Milan, Bergamo and Venice by a little group of artists who bravely opposed their new style to the academic tradition. The author presents the history of Art as a fascinating story of the gradual or traumatic passage from the verist artistic tradition to contemporary art, being a witness of that himself.                   Collection "The oreads"   THE SILENT AVANT-GARDES Chronicles and revelations-Bergamo in the Twentieth Century Abstract Art The last Frontier Pino Viscusi - 172 tav. 680 photos in b/w & color - 368 pag   Price - € 45,00 - ISBN 88-87706-11-5
