Adoperare il colore delle cose ad arte

Abstract

In the 20th century avant-gardes there was a gradual decline using pictorial pigments. After the introduction of the duchampian ready-made, the colour rendering in works is given by everyday life objects that already possess the mimetic intent of pictorial yield. Thus, a wider colour performance can evoke a world. Painting progressive disappearance plays an indicative role about disappearance of art theme. But, far from disappearing, it relies on developing an alternative canon aided by technical reproducibility tools of images. Using ordinary items, often consumed by time, carefully recovered from their decline, is a conceptual operation reminiscent of the chiffonnier figure. The ordinary materials presence suggests the extension to a not only visual sphere, evoking an imaginary that no longer coincides with a linear narrative. This essay investigates the elements’ role taken from reality, as analogues of colour, in the system of image production.
