Listen "Arte Povera"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore the revolutionary art movement of Arte Povera, born in 1960s Italy amid social and artistic upheaval. Rejecting luxury and tradition, artists embraced everyday materials like earth, rope, and fire to strip art down to its essence. We delve into works by pioneers like Piero Manzoni, Mario Merz, and Giuseppe Penone, tracing the movement’s journey from minimalism to cosmic themes of infinity. Discover how Arte Povera challenged conventions, reshaped the art world, and left a legacy of radical creativity.
