Art is over and with it the long life of Art History:
the MetaFormismo© writes its last chapter
It is not a current, it is not a movement and it is not even a group of artists, because the current
historical moment tends to be refractory to group realities, such as those that have dotted the whole of the
Twentieth Century.
The MetaFormismo© is the last historical possibility to acquire the meaning of non-figurative artworks by
reading them with the optics of the shape (form). Non-figurative expressions, in fact, appear totally devoid of
figures but rich in forms.
It is stated by Professor Giulia Sillato, Art Historian of Longhiana School, after twenty years of research and
studies. Thanks to her long experience in the field of classical arts – which also includes a profitable discipleship
with Federico Zeri, famous italian art historian – she clearly sees the expressive dynamics of art from its origins to
today.
To identify new ways of reading non-figurative arts, means closing the historical circle of Art – because
everything comes to be understood, even those art forms that from Abstractionism were intended by their fathers,
Frantisek Kupka and Vasilij Kandinsky, as perception and not reason. Nothing more, therefore, can lend itself to
evolution.
20 exclusive artists – chosen with two basic criteria: a) compatibility with MetaFormismo©; b) artistic
quality – lined up to support their latest Art History.
