Abstract
Zusammenfassung:The essay analyzes Piero Manzoni’s Libera dimensione (published in 1960 in the second and last issue of the journal «Azimuth»). Manzoni argues that figurative painting is dead, critical commentaries of a work of art are useless, and verbal language in general is incapable of interpreting, translating, and even describing a visual experience. Nevertheless, Manzoni considered himself both a writer-theorist and a painter, befriended several poets, and was greatly interested in the cross-fertilizations between the verbal and the visual. Consequently, Libera dimensione is both a contradictory text and a revealing mirror of some fertile aporias of post-war Italian avantgarde art.
