Mario Schifano and TV landscapes<\/b><\/h1>\n

Between the 1960s and 1970s, Mario Schifano<\/a>, photographer and painter, lived in a studio with dozens of televisions always on at low volume, constantly flooding his visual space with an uninterrupted flow of images.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mario Schifano’s depersonalized works<\/b><\/h2>\n

Schifano was in line with other explorations of the period in that <\/span>he depersonalized the work<\/b>, making it no longer the result of unique, unrepeatable, romantic creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique: emulsified canvas<\/b><\/h3>\n

Mario Schifano’s isolated the image from a television screen<\/strong>, capturing it by taking a picture of it and then he emulsified it on the canvas finishing it with glaze. Brilliant!<\/span><\/p>\n

These slightly blurred images, which are not very sharp or bright compared to our current standards, are set within the black circular frame of a cathode-ray tube and hold clocks with precise hour hands (<\/span>Ora esatta; \u201c<\/span><\/i>Exact time\u201d) and still images of Italian cities with their names written with quotes from art history of the program “Italian 20th-century Masters,” stills of political figures from the news, as well as fragments, enlargements, details, and spots of color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Schifano’s new expressive language<\/b><\/h2>\n

These experiments with still television images, especially starting in the 1970s, made Mario Schifano<\/strong> \u2013 bored with and temporarily distancing himself from painting \u2013 into one of the first in the world to interact with different media to create a <\/span>new artistic language<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With remarkable foresight, Mario Schifano<\/strong> realized that we would be increasingly immersed in the image.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The artist need not seek inspiration from the outside, because the outside will seek him out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Television landscapes and computerized canvases (emulsified, to be exact) became part of Mario Schifano<\/strong>‘s expressive language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our catalogue includes two works by Mario Schifano: <\/span>Paesaggio TV<\/a> (\u201c<\/span><\/i>TV Landscapes\u201d<\/span>) <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Ora esatta <\/span><\/i>(\u201cExact Time).<\/span><\/p>\n
