Pino Pascali was an Italian artist, a pioneer
of the Arte Povera
movement — a group
of artists who used
ordinary, everyday
objects to create poor art in order to express their anger to the commercialization
of the art world.
Emerging with the abstract expressionist
movement, Jay DeFeo worked for four decades as a sculptor, photographer, and painter, producing a broad and personal vocabulary
of heroic imagery that was inspired by
ordinary objects and influenced by prehistoric art, astronomy, and architecture.
