Items related to Jackson Pollock: The Figure of the Fury
Exhibiting Jackson Pollock in Florence and comparing him to Michelangelo is the challenge that the authors and curators of this summer's Florentine exhibition faced. One originates in drawing that with all its strength attempts to respect the order of nature and of the divine. The other is based in the phenomenology of the unconscious and mystical geometry, the perfect representation of an expanding universe. What Michelangelo and Pollock shared was the inspired frenzy they both transmitted as they worked, a sort of agonistic trance that rendered them extraneous to the outer world. Already in the 16th century, the expression, "fury of the figure" was coined to describe the serpentine lines of several Michaelangelo's figures, often characterised by his non-finito technique, a formal approach that expressively exalts the conflict between perfect beauty and the bulk of the unformed. In Pollock, the guiding concept adopted is instead that of the "figure of the fury", an idea that defines the vital, violent and powerful painting of the American artist whose drip-paintings astonished many of his contemporaries, just as Michelangelo's prodigious Last Judgement had amazed his contemporaries five centuries before.

Book Description cart. edit. ill. Condition: molto buono. Gruppo Editoriale Giunti, Firenze, 2014. Autore/i: a cura di Sergio Risaliti, Francesca Campana Comparini. cart. edit. ill. ill. a colori e b/n n.t. ISBN 880979480X 9788884911179 9788809794818 Firenze, Palazzo Vecchio, Sala dei Gigli, Sala della Cancelleria - Complesso di San Firenze, Sala della Musica, 16 aprile-27 luglio 2014. (Gamm). Esporre a Firenze Jackson Pollock, e confrontarlo con Michelangelo, è; la sfida che Sergio Risaliti e Francesca Campana Comparini - ideatori e curatori della mostra - hanno lanciato per mettere sotto osservazione due civiltà; e due linguaggi distanti e pure antitetici: uno fondato sul disegno che cerca con tutte le forze di rispettare l'ordine della natura e del divino; l'altro basato sulla fenomenologia dell'inconscio e sulla mistica geometria, perfetta rappresentazione di un universo in espansione. Ciò; che accomuna Michelangelo e Pollock è; il furore che entrambi trasmettono quando lavorano alle loro opere, una sorta di trance agonistica che li rende estranei al mondo esterno. Già; nel Cinquecento si parlò; di furia della figura per descrivere le linee serpentinate di alcune figure del Buonarroti, caratterizzate sovente anche dal non-finito, scelta formale per esaltare espressivamente il conflitto tra bellezza compiuta e ingombro dell'informe. In Pollock il concetto guida adottato in mostra è; invece quello della "figura della furia", un'idea che ben definisce la pittura vitale, violenta e potente del pittore americano che con i suoi drip-painting stupì molti suoi contemporanei, così come era accaduto con il terribile "Giudizio" di Michelangelo nel XVI secolo.
