ABOUT: Combustione: Alberto Burri and America (2010) Lisa Melandri, Michael Duncan, Elsa Longhauser, with works by Alberto Burri Exhibition Catalogue ? Santa Monica Museum of Art, Sept. 11-Dec. 18, 2010 This catalogue documents a focused exhibition exploring Alberto Burri's "Combustione" (Combustion) works and their deep, often under?recognized connection to American postwar art. Rather than a broad retrospective, the book concentrates on the period when Burri's experiments with burning, melting, and transforming materials resonated with?and influenced?American avant?garde movements. Scope and Purpose The volume positions Burri not simply as an Italian postwar master but as a transatlantic figure, whose innovations in material destruction and transformation paralleled developments in American art from the 1950s through the 1970s. It argues that Burri's combustions anticipated or intersected with: - Abstract Expressionism - Neo?Dada and assemblage - Process art and material?based practices - The California art scene's interest in industrial materials The catalogue serves both as an art?historical study and as a visual record of the exhibition. Key Themes 1. Material as Event Burri's combustions?burned plastics, charred wood, melted industrial compounds?are presented as acts, not just objects. The essays emphasize: - The tension between destruction and creation - The transformation of humble materials into painterly surfaces - The performative dimension of burning as a technique 2. Burri's Dialogue with America 3. Historical and Cultural Context 4. Exhibition Plates and Documentation.

Per Wikipedia, Alberto Burri (1915 -1995) Was An Italian Visual Artist, Painter, Sculptor, And Physician Based In Città Di Castello. He Is Associated With The Matterism Of The European Informal Art Movement And Described His Style As A Polymaterialist. He Had Connections With Lucio Fontana's Spatialism And, With Antoni Tàpies, An Influence On The Revival Of The Art Of Post-War Assembly In America (Robert Rauschenberg) As In Europe. Burri Graduated From Medical School In 1940. Burri Claimed He Studied Art History, Because He Wanted To Be Able To Understand The Works Of Art That Surrounded Him.[9] He Also Studied Greek, A Language In Which He Became Proficient, And Later In Life Was Able To Read And Enjoy Classical Greek Literature. On 8 May 1943 The Unit He Was Part Of Was Captured By The British In Tunisia And Was Later Turned Over To The Americans And Transferred To Hereford, Texas In A Prisoner-Of-War Camp Housing Around 3000 Italian Officers, Where He Began Painting. After His Liberation In 1946, He Moved To Rome And Devoted Himself Exclusively To Painting; His First Solo Exhibition Took Place At The La Margherita Gallery In 1947. He Then Exhibited At The Marlborough Gallery In New York And At The Gallery De France In Paris. Burri's First Solo Figurative Artworks Exhibition Took Place On 10 July 1947 At The Gallery-Cum-Bookshop La Margherita, In Rome. However, Burri's Artistic Production Flowed Definitively Into Abstract Forms Before The End Of The Same Year, The Use Of Small Format Tempera Resulting From The Influence Of Such Artists As Jean Dubuffet And Joan Miró, Whose Studio Was Visited By Burri During A Trip To Paris In The Winter Of 1948. Burri's Artistic Research Became Personal In Short Time, Between 1948 And 1950 He Began Experimenting With Using Unusual, 'Unorthodox' Materials Such As Tar, Sand, Zinc, Pumice, And Aluminium Dust As Well As Polyvinyl Chloride Glue, This Last Material Being Elevated To The Same Importance As Oil Colors. During This Artistic Transition, The Painter Showed His Sensitivity To The Mixed-Media Type Of Abstraction Of Enrico Prampolini, A Central Figure In Italian Abstract Art. Nonetheless Burri Went One Step Further In His Catrami (Tars), Presenting Tar Not As A Simple Collage Material, But As An Actual Color Which - By Way Of Different Lucid And Opaque Shades In Monochrome Black-, Blended Itself With The Totality Of The Painting. Starting In 1952 Burri Achieved A Strong, Personal Characterization With The Sacchi (Sacks), Artworks Directly Obtained From Jute Fabric Widely Distributed By The Marshall Plan: Color Almost Entirely Disappeared, Leaving Space For The Surface Material So That Painting Coincide With Its Matter In Its Total Autonomy, As It Was No More Separation Between Painting Surface And Its Form. The Formal Artistic Elegance And The Spatial Balances Obtained Through Aeroform Steams, Craters, Rips, Overlapping Color Layers And Different Forms, Differentiated Burri's Art, Founded On Attentive Reflections And Precise Calculations, From The Impulsive Gestures That Characterized Action Painting During The Same Period. Burri's Sacchi Did Not Win The Public's Understanding And Were Instead Considered As Extremely Far From The Notion Of Art. Burri's Work Received A Different And Positive Consideration In 1953, When James Johnson Sweeney (Director Of The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum) Discovered Burri's Paintings At The Obelisco Gallery In Rome, And Subsequently Introduced The Artist's Work To The United States, In A Collective Exhibition Representative Of The New European Artistic Tendencies. During The Same Year Robert Rauschenberg Visited The Painter's Studio Two Times: Despite The Linguistic Differences Between The Two Artists Prevented Them To Talking To Each Other, Rauschenberg's Visits Provided Substantial Input For The Creation Of His Combine Paintings. Burri's Work Influenced Antonini's Designs For His Film Red Desert.
