Description
Carla Lonzi's Self-portrait is a groundbreaking work of feminist experimentalism in Italian art and literature. Recorded and transcribed throughout the 1960s, this book presents Lonzi's own voice, challenging traditional notions of criticism and art history. In this first English translation, Lonzi shares her conversations with fourteen prominent artists working at the time, all men except one, revealing a vital feeling that it was impossible to respond professionally to the political and existential problems embedded in the production and distribution of artworks. The book's contingent structure reflects Lonzi's pragmatic approach to artmaking, which she saw as an invitation to be together in a humanly satisfying way. This work brings Lonzi's final critical writing before her break with 'art' to an international audience, offering a unique perspective on postwar modern art in Italy and beyond.
