For Iola belonged to a small group of stars cut off from the rest of the galaxy by the close presence of an all-enveloping black hole.

He returned to the world intact, silent, and secretive. And was found murdered where none could have reached him.

paperback. Condition: Nuovo (New). Catalogo della mostra di Novate Milanese, Casa Testori, ottobre 2015 - febbraio 2016. Con 80 illustrazioni a colori. Testi critici di Davide Dall'Ombra e Francesco Gesti . Cm 24x16,8. pp. 144. . Nuovo (New). . . . William Congdon (1912-1998), artista americano rappresentante dell'Action painting, lasciata la New York degli amici Pollock e Mark Rothko, dopo aver viaggiato in tutto il mondo, decide di radicarsi a sud di Milano, dedicando la sua ultima produzione al ritratto intimo di campi coltivati, risaie e frutti della terra. Un ventennio lombardo che segna l'apice del suo percorso. Dopo le New York degli anni ?40, i Sahara e Santorini degli anni ?50, la ricerca da spaziale si fa temporale. Protagoniste diventano la potenza della terra e le sue trasformazioni. Non si tratta di visioni idilliache: si sconvolge l'orizzonte sui campi, quasi a seguire le trasformazioni telluriche dell'origine.Un tormento, anche materico, che si risolve e trova pace nelle Nebbie che aprono la via ai monocromi. Riemergono le meditazioni su Braque e De Staël, ma, soprattutto, i dialoghi pittorici con la Scuola di New York di Betty Parsons e Peggy Guggenheim che hanno portato le sue opere nei più importanti musei di New York e alla Peggy Guggenheim Collection di Venezia.
