Arte Povera: from historical origins to contemporary influence Arte Povera emerged in Italy during the late 1960s as a response to the growing dissatisfaction with traditional art forms and the commercialization of art. The movement sought to reject the formalities of institutionalized art and break away from the constraints of modernism. Influenced by political and social changes of the time, Arte Povera embraced experimentation and the use of non-traditional materials. The artists of this movement focused on raw, everyday objects and explored themes of impermanence and transformation, making the art itself a part of the natural processes it aimed to represent. Key artists associated with Arte Povera include Pier Paolo Calzolari, Jannis Kounellis, and Michelangelo Pistoletto. One of the movement’s central ideas was to challenge the traditional hierarchy of materials in art, favoring natural and ephemeral elements. For instance, Calzolari’s works like Soffio (1970) and Rosa e Nero (1969) exemplified the use of raw materials like salt, ice, and sulfur, emphasizing themes of transformation, ephemerality, and the passage of time. This focus on natural processes and transitory states highlighted Arte Povera’s core principle of breaking down artistic conventions by incorporating elements that were often overlooked or deemed insignificant. The influence of Arte Povera continues to resonate in contemporary art, where its legacy can be seen in the work of many modern artists who engage with the raw and authentic aspects of materials. By focusing on the transient nature of both the materials and the art itself, Arte Povera challenged viewers to rethink the value of art and its relationship to the world around us. Its emphasis on impermanence, transformation, and the sensory experience remains an essential part of how we engage with art today. Read in full via link
