La Scrittura (edited and written by Mirella Bentivoglio) / Di Sarro, Luigi ; Bentivoglio M ; Villa E ; Cattania L ; Novelli G ; Twombly C., 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-16321-16671
Scope and Contents

Mirella Bentivoglio comments that the works of Di Sarro (1941-1979), who was a doctor, should be considered as precursors to art as writing, a tendency which developed in Rome in the sixties in the work of Emilio Villa, Marco Balzarro, and Luciano Cattania. She adds that this was followed by the well known Roman tendency of sign-abstraction, "impersonated" by Capagrossi, Novelli, and Twombly. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

He worked as an art teacher, muralist and theatrical scene painter (experiences which are reflected in novels such as "Lanark" and "1982, Janine"), and his illustrations for his own books (as well as his bold use of typography) form a crucial part of their unique appeal.
