Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
This book will appeal to enthusiasts of contemporary art, especially those interested in innovative mixed-media techniques and the interplay of texture and light. It is suited for readers curious about European art history and the evolution of modern sculpture and painting.
Best known for his complex draperies on irregular-shaped canvases, Umberto Mariani's work explores illusions of light and shadow created within the folds of fabric in his work. His first monumental narrative work in the 1960s was for the St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. This book deals with his work.
A complete monograph on the post-World War II multimedia artist reminiscent of the three dimensional spatialism of the Italian avant-garde.

Description
Best known for his complex draperies on irregular-shaped canvases, Umberto Mariani's work explores illusions of light and shadow created within the folds of fabric in his work.
Mariani's new multi-dimensional works include lead sheets beneath intricate drapery, whereby the fabric both serves to conceal a mysterious object beneath while also evoking its presence.
His first monumental narrative work in the 1960s was for St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, and in the 1970s, he exhibited widely in prominent institutions in Europe, such as the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels and the Musée Moderne in Paris.
