There comes a point where individual mythology and universal mythology are identical. In this context it is clear that there can be no concern with symbolism and description, memories, misty impressions, of childhood, pictoricism, sentimentalism: all this must be absolutely excluded. So must every hedonistic repetition of arguments that have already been exhausted, since the man who continues to trifle with myths that have already been discovered is an aesthete, and worse.
Italian artist (1933-1963)
Piero Manzoni (July 13, 1933 – February 6, 1963) was an Italian artist; best known for his ironic and independent approach to avant-garde art. Often his art is compared to the work of Yves Klein. He had a lot of influence on the later Italian w:Arte Povera and the w:Zero artists.
