Description
The films of Michelangelo Antonioni are widely regarded as pivotal in shaping modern cinema. This book offers a radical reevaluation of Antonioni's work, challenging prevailing understandings of his aesthetic and its relationship to painting. Antonioni and the Aesthetics of Impurity explores how the director's films of the 1960s and 1970s engaged with the avant-garde art practices of the time, including those of John Cage, Franco Vaccari, Robert Smithson, Piero Gilardi, and Andy Warhol. By examining Antonioni's use of mixed media and his reflections on cinema as a medium, this book reveals a new understanding of his critical significance within the broader context of modern visual arts. This fresh perspective replaces traditional accounts of Antonioni's work with a nuanced analysis of its cultural and artistic relevance.
