Paolo Scheggi

The Humanistic Measurement of Space
Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Paolo Scheggi's dazzling work emerged in postwar Milan's vibrant international art scene, influenced by key figures like Lucio Fontana and experimental contemporaries such as Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani. His art transcends traditional painting, exploring new creative and perceptual dimensions that are objective, physical, and spatial. This volume showcases pivotal works that investigate the spatial qualities of surfaces, from early metal assemblages called Lamiere to mature, complex constructions known as Intersuperfici and Strutture modulari.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Scheggi's dazzling work developed in postwar Milan, an effervescent and international artistic context, enriched by the crucial presence of Lucio Fontana, and of experimental artists from the new Italian generation: Piero Manzoni, Enrico Castellani, Agostino Bonalumi, Dadamaino, and Gianni Colombo.

With them, Scheggi's work shares the desire to move beyond traditional painting into a new creative and perceptual dimension: objective, physical, and spatial.

The volume brings together pivotal examples of Scheggi's work on the spatial investigation of surface: from the early metal assemblages of his Lamiere to the mature complex constructions of his Intersuperfici and Strutture modulari.
