Carla Accardi - Profile |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Recognized for her graphic style and treatment of the canvas as an object, Accardi was an integral part of the foray into abstraction in Italian painting in the late 1940s. In 1947, she, along with future husband Antonion Sanfilippo and artists Giulio Turcato, Pietro Consagra, Piero Dorazio, among others, founded the group Forma I (Form), declaring themselves Â"formalists and MarxistsÂ" and announcing their intention to create art that emphasized Â"utility, harmonious beauty, [and] nonheaviness.Â" Accardi, who recently turned eighty, is the only living member of this movement. She continues to create new and exciting work that incorporates materials such as transparent plastic (Â"sicofoilÂ"), adding unique sculptural elements to the canvases filled with the flatly rendered colored signs that have characterized her work since the 1950s. According to Germano Celant, author of the catalogue raisonné which was published in 1999, Â"{AccardiÂ's] is rather a painting of unbridled signs, a painting in search of the extreme instance between rational and irrational, between positive and negativeÂ…Her labyrinths display a sensual magnetism, cultivating a ferment that tends toward an agglomeration of materials and colorsÂ-limitless, structural, and environmental.Â" Born in 1924 in Sicily, Accardi currently lives and works in Rome.
