Dialogo intorno alle immagini di Bruno Mangiaterra

Abstract

The oeuvre of Bruno Mangiaterra focuses almost entirely on the problem of the signification of abstract objects. By privileging words, the artist manages to attribute new values to the work of art. Research on the visual texts of the artist brings out a certain interest on the part of the painter for linguistic culture, although he never worked out a real methodical approach to the art of writing. Since his production of paintings and installation art has been enhanced over time by verbal statements, his works have become visual texts.
